This stage includes cycling the highest paved mountain pass in Europe: Col de l’Iseran. Map, photos, route descriptions, additional ride ideas, etc.
The goal is to provide details of this great route, but also provide you some route planning idea/options. Each post will feature a map that shows the official route, but also includes an option or two that I believe improves the route.
The end of my 11th annual cycling challenge! I think I even still had hair…
Merry Christmas to everyone. I enjoyed my annual Santa ride, this time up the steep side of Mont Salève. Usually the top should be closed due to snow, but it’s currently a heat wave.
Col de Crozet, in the French Jura mountains, is an excellent, very quiet, unpaved road up through a small ski station. This is a perfect mountain bike climb to get “above the clouds”
A truly beautiful mountain bike cycling climb to Col de Balme, surrounded by views of snowy peaks and a glacier or two. Map, photos, etc.
Enjoying Paris by bike, visiting all the typical tourist sites. Map and photos.
Very challenging, super scenic, five col mountain bike loop up to Les Grandes Platières (2480m). With amazing views of Mont Blanc at the summit.
Two beautiful, quiet cycling climbs in the Hautes Alpes. I’ll need to return when there is less fog so I can enjoy the famous views from Notre Dame de la Salette. Map, photos, etc.
