Col de la Croix Fry
Adventures on my bike
Riding from Thônes, in the Aravis, I once again met-up with fellow riders of the Club des Cent Cols. This time we rode to Col de la Croix Fry on a lovely sunny day…
I revisited the astounding Gorges du Nan, and then went to investigate the site of a major landslide that obliterated the RD1532 road last year.
Emulating a ride I did ten years ago, this was a 200-mile bike ride along the south coast of West Sussex, East Sussex and Kent. From Littlehampton to Rye

Another ride from earlier this year. Cycling from Thônes, I rode two steep climbs up to Col de Plan Bois, in the Aravis massif in the French Alps. Beautiful scenery as usual.
A tough but spectacular ride in the Alps over Col de l’Arpettaz, Col des Aravis and Col de la Croix Fry on a beautiful sunny day.
A ride in the Jura mountains over Col d’Evosges and around Hauteville Lompnes, climbing another 8 cols on this very hilly 70-mile ride
An amazing bike ride in the Jura mountains featuring the magnificent Viaduc de Cize Bolozon
A forty-mile bike ride in the Jura, looping from Izernore, via Col du Sentier, Lac Genin and back though Oyonnax.
I climbed two sides of Mont Ventoux in one ride, first tackling the easy Sault ascent, followed by the more demanding one from Malaucene. Weather was perfect, if a little chilly..
