By Will • Mar 20th, 2008 • Category: Climbs, Cycling, SnowAt the turn, I told Eric it would be impossible to reach and totally covered in snow.
He gave me a half-smile. I knew we were going up.

Col du Sac
By Will • Dec 2nd, 2007 • Category: Climbs, Cycling, JurasAt about 1,250 meters (4200 feet) the paved road ended and I ran into snow. I wasn’t sure where the actual Col was and I hate to climb a Col and not find the sign at the top
So I decided to continue climbing the gravel path through the snow.
New Map: Jura Mountains Cycling Climbs
