There is a well known “secret” among mountain lovers. During the endless, gray, depressing days this time of year – there is often plenty of sunshine if you just go high enough.

Year-to-date, I have cycled 91,377 metres (299,800 feet) of vertical ascent.

In May, Doreen and I spent three days cycling around Gstaad, Switzerland. Someone saw one of the photos and invited me to enter the PBS Nature – Television “Prince of the Alps” photo contest.

Anyone that has ridden with me, knows that one of their duties is to photograph me in front of any interesting sign. Here’s a little collection of some signs seen along the way. And at the bottom, a slide show of “signs from the top.”
Famous for the eponymous cheese, Beaufort is one of the best bases for fabulous climbs in the north French Alps.
