Doreen has cycled up Alpe d’Huez, Ventoux, Galibier, etc. But she had never, ever cycled a century. At least not until today.
It’s tag line is “The most beautiful 10 miles in the world.”
Doreen just gets better with age!
Today she ran the Geneva half marathon, shattering her time from two years ago.
After seeing the photos of my cycle up above Lac d’Emosson last week, Doreen was eager to visit.
So we drove to the main dam with the aim of hiking up high and finding the 150 million year old dinosaur tracks.
That’s Doreen, my wife, running the Berne Grand Prix.
It’s called “The most beautiful 10 miles in the world!”
I spend a lot of time searching for climbs.
But it’s worth remembering how much fun relaxed, social rides can be with friends.
I turned forty something today. My (lovely) wife knows me well.
Among several thoughtful gifts were two scrolls redeemable for full car support for a huge Alps ride anytime in the next 12 months.
Perhaps the best three days of skiing we have ever had.
Perfect conditions and weather – at the great Les Arcs ski resort high in the French Alps
I decided to rest my tired cycling legs today and hike up Le Saleve with Doreen.
All the great hairpins from Friday’s ride were now surrounded by snow.
