Col du Grand Colombier and Col de la Biche.
And a video.
Two more VERY steep climbs in the Swiss Juras.
Another couple of great - virtually car free - climbs in the Jura mountains.
And some friendly Chartreuse Monks
Doreen has cycled up Alpe d’Huez, Ventoux, Galibier, etc. But she had never, ever cycled a century. At least not until today.
Let me go out on a limb and say this is my absolute favourite climb.
Cyclo-tourists coming to the Alps understandably flock to the Route des Grandes Alpes to do the famous Tour de France climbs.
But there are countless lessor known climbs that are as beautiful, much quieter, and often very challenging.
Two cows and the actual Croix de Fer (Iron cross) over our shoulder.
A truly perfect day cycling.
A fun day watching the Dauphiné Libéré near the top of Mont ventoux.
