Col de Combe Blanche (or Vattay or Puthod?)

By • Sep 24th, 2008 • Category: Climbs, Cycling, Juras

The sign at the top said Combe Blanche. My book says Col de Puthod and Michelin maps says Col de la Vattay.

Regardless it’s a fantsatic, steep, deserted climb in the Jura mountains.

And once finished – starving, Barry and I ordered all-you-can-eat authentic alpine soup from the local chalet restaurant. Barry even offered to cook. Delicious!

Col de la Joux Verte Col de Bassachaux

By • May 14th, 2008 • Category: Climbs, Cycling, Snow

The plan was to cycle up Col de la Joux Verte.

I knew the road was still closed, but it’s been so warm we thought with mountain bikes that we’d be OK.
