Watching the Dauphiné atop Col de Joux Plane

Perfect Day

A very, very fun day cycling up Col de Joux Plane and watching the Dauphiné. I even played domestique, carrying up a beer each for Dave and I. Dave cycled up the Morzine side, so I surprised him with his victory beverage as we met at the summit.

If you are looking for maps and profiles to cycle Joux Plane: North Side from Morzine. More famous south side from Samoëns.

is Happiest while cycling uphill. More enthusiastic than talented, his 2013 Challenge is to cycle a 150 Cols (mountain passes), slowly -- and to just enjoy.

    I have a serious case of Envy. The thing I remember most about Joux Plane was the Descent . Steep narrow, shaded and very technical above Morzine. I wish I could do this kind of ride from my home. Pete

    Pete,

    Good to hear from you.

    David Millar said he hit 110 km / descending Joux Plane ….. wow.
