Lake Annecy Loop via 3 Great Climbs
By Will • Mar 17th, 2009 • Category: Climbs, CyclingMarch and April is the best time to do small and medium climbs in the Alps as the weather can be warm, the roads fine, and the surrounding mountains stunningly snow covered.
Col de l’Aulp and Col de la Forclaz
By Will • Nov 7th, 2008 • Category: Climbs, CyclingThis is a fantastic climb high above Lake Annecy – worth re-doing on a clear sunny day as views everywhere.
Col de la Frasse and Col du Plane
By Will • Sep 17th, 2008 • Category: Climbs, CyclingI received a nice comment from Colin recently.
He mentioned a road up to Col de la Frasse that I had never heard of – so i got the maps out and made a plan.
Le Semnoz
By Will • May 8th, 2008 • Category: Climbs, CyclingHigh above Lake Annecy – It’s a magnificent and tough climb – and frankly today I suffered near the top.
I am not yet fit or light enough for the July Tour d’Enfer. But at least the injury seems almost OK.

By Will • Feb 27th, 2008 • Category: Climbs, CyclingI’m an idiot. Last week I put SPD pedals on my hybrid. Today, I arrived in Annecy with no cycling shoes.
