Getting the legs ready for skiing..

It has been warming up again recently, and the snow in the Alps has melted beneath 2000 metres. Nevertheless, we have faith the snow will fall again. Aware that a far fitter friend will be joining us at Christmas for some stamina draining skiing a new cycle route was needed.

Proving that La Motte is the sunny side of Geneva, the ride was great except for the dense fog at Vers, forcing a right turn up above the clouds towards Charly and then St Blaise on the Saleve. Headed off towards Cruseilles and then a sharp descent towards Ronzier before climbing back through Copponex and Cernex all in sunglass weather.


















Early winter in the Haute-Savoie

This is a beautiful ride through the countryside of the Haute Savoie. Will do again and take some decent photos. Only around 30 km to ensure the day is not written off - but over 800 metres of climb to work the legs a little.
