A very steep, deserted forest road in the Swiss Jura mountains.
I am now eligible to become a “member” of the Confrérie des Fêlés (brotherhood of the crackpots) du Grand Colombier.
The goal was to find some new Cols and quiet, scenic roads. Mission accomplished.
At the risk of repeating myself, the Jura mountains are an incredible place for steep, big, beautiful, deserted cycling climbs.
My first attempt at “The Barillette Challenge”.
Many thanks to La Côte Wheelers cycling club for inviting and welcoming me on their weekly Sunday rain ride.
A very fun day watching the Tour de Romandie. Nice Kit! (??).
Perhaps the quintessential big mountain loop from Geneva.
A beautiful, hilly loop on deserted roads (maybe because the climbs were all still strangely signed as closed?)
