If you want to cycle a loop around lake Annecy, here are a few tips:

Col de la Croix Fry features one of the most beautiful hairpins I know. A great winter Alps climb.

It’s winter in the Alps but it’s still possible to climb on a bike.

My 2014 Cycling Challenge

Map of Cycling Climbs in the Vosges. Quiet, medium altitude mountain range full of Cols. I am no expert of the region, but click on any of the star-shaped pins on the map for a details of a ride that I have done. Zoom the map and the labels will become less messy. 🙂 Or click on the top right corner of map for a full page view.

Map of over a hundred French Alps and Jura Mountains cycling climbs. Links to details for each climb (map, photo, description, elevation chart, etc)

Here are ten great routes from 2013 along with some photos that I quite liked. Happy New Year.

I find that making myself a map showing all the great climbs in an area is extremely motivating.

Especially since it reminds me all the climbs that I have never done.

Busy doing your Christmas shopping? Looking for a 2014 alpine cycling calendar? Well look no further.

Just a short post to say thanks for the many kind e-mails asking where I have been.
