Oh yes, Lee's going to hate me for this one. Col de Bluffy, Marais, Epine, Aravis, Croix Frye, and Bluffy again before finishing at our place in Menthon. I'm so glad that we were able to fit this into our work trip. Off to Germany with 5 dudes in a VW Tiguan...I really hope they give me the front seat!

C • A 5-hour ride in the French Alps? 2

SUCH a good morning ride from our place in Menthon south to toward Faverge and then up the Col de la Forclaz from the south. The weather at 6h30 was incredibly perfect and it was just so good to be riding in Haute Savoie again. Unfortunately, the bike I am using is a bit small and has a gearing that isn't for epic climbs - eg. 53-39 on the front vs my compact 50-34 crankset. So I really had to gut it out in order to keep moving up the 9k climb. The downhill was a screamer and so fun to manoeuvre on.

C • nice to be in Tour de France territory again! 2

Fun ride home through the trails
