First cycle around Lake Annecy for 2009

Spring has arrived. Skis packed up and bicycle tyres pumped up we head off for our first weekend cycle of the year around Lake Annecy (44km) .. the first of a few (much needed) training runs before an assault on Lake Geneva later in the year.

A word of advice - it is much easier to do this route clockwise. Last year Caroline expressed a few words as we climbed the hill out of Talloires.

On July 23 2009 the Tour de France has a time trial around Lake Annecy - I do hope they take the anti-clockwise route though I doubt they'll notice the hill much.

Teaching the nieces to ski
