An amazing, beautiful bike ride following the Bachelard river from Barcelonnette to the Col de la Cayolle at over 2,300 metres
Col de la Cayolle
Col de Vars
I rode from Guillestres in the Queyras valley to Col de Vars (2,109m). Steep at first and then gets easier towards the top. Once through the ski resorts it turned into a nice road.
Cormet de Roselend
Cycling in the Savoie, this stunning ride took me from Bourg-Saint-Maurice to Cormet de Roselend and down to Lac de Roselend and the chapel
Les Moussières
I reversed a ride I did in May to make it easier. Ended up getting drenched (again!)
Ballon d’Alsace (South)
I took on the Ballon d’Alsace again, this time climbing from the south side and descending to the east. Cycling heaven..
La Super Planche des Belles Filles
Back in France again! Cycling in The Vosges mountains, I took on The Super Planche des Belles Filles, a tough climb often featured in the Tour de France
Col de la Croix de Fer
A beautiful climb to Col de la Croix de Fer and Col du Glandon
Col de la Machine
I rode the ‘other way’ around Combe Laval to see the balcony road from the opposite edge of the cirque
Col de Tourniol
A new ‘gateway’ into the Vercors followed by a steep climb to a secret viewpoint..
Col de l’Iseran (FERMÉ)
I rode to see if I could reach the Col de l’Iseran, even though it was officially closed..
