Noisy main roads and tunnels followed by a peaceful ride in the hills
Col de Tende
An epic ride up the Roya valley and then a gravel climb to the Italian border at the Col de Tende, or the ‘Colle di Tenda’ in Italian
Col de Brouis
A ride through Breil-sur-Roya and in and out of Italy
Col de Turini (from Sospel)
I took on the Col de Turini for the second time, but using a different route up and a third route down. I think that’s the lot now..
Col de Laval
A bike ride from Entrevaux over the Col de Laval and back via the Clue de Rouaine and Gorges de Garlange, on a sunny but breezy day
Col du Trébuchet
A ride around la Montagne de Gourdan on a greyish day
D211a Balcony Road
A hair-raising balcony road followed by an exhilarating gorge descent
La Bérarde
Amazing ride up the Vallée du Vénéon into the heart of the Massif d’Ecrins
Alpe d’Huez
Another iconic climb ticked off the list
The Vale of Kent
After 15 months of no serious cycling I’m trying to get back into it…
