Forclaz is only an 8km climb but its very steep. Note the 13% grade road sign on the right side of Martin in the photo below.

Great ride and pizza and frites in old Annecy afterwards.

is Happiest while cycling uphill. More enthusiastic than talented, his 2013 Challenge is to cycle a 150 Cols (mountain passes), slowly -- and to just enjoy.

    hey!

    I just stayed at Annecy and did the lake loop and the Col de la Forlcaz climb.

    FAAAAAAAARKKKK. It was tough. I’m from Sydney, we don’t have hills like that.

    Viva La France!! Thanks for the photos!
