My longest climb yet, I rode up to the Cime de la Bonette again, this time from Jausiers on the north side. And this time I walked the last bit up to the peak. There was nowhere higher to go!
Col de la Cayolle
An amazing, beautiful bike ride following the Bachelard river from Barcelonnette to the Col de la Cayolle at over 2,300 metres
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.
Colle dell’Agnello
I rode from Castello in Italy to the Colle dell’Agnello (2,744m). An amazing ride, with lots of marmots and spectacular mountain landscapes.
Colle del Nivolet
In the Gran Paradiso national park in Italy, I rode to the famous Colle del Nivolet through spectacular wild mountain scenery.
The Matterhorn
I finally got to see The Matterhorn up close..
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
