The blog is back..the Alpes Open Tour
Hi all,
After an extended hibernation the blog is coming back to life. The summer challenge has been set and starts on Sunday August 15 -- 6 days of cycling, 659 km of road and tackling some of the classic Tour de France climbs in the French Alps.
Assuming the battery holds up in the new Android phone I hope to post straight to the blog (www.genevaexplore.blogspot.com) for an unedited appreciation of the pain... and hopefully some stunning views.
The tour..
Each day's route is shown below. More detailed notes to follow in the blog.. you may recognise some ski resorts - Châtel, Morzine, Les Gets, Combloux, Megève, Courchevel... but for those in the know it is Col des Saisies, Madeleine, Croix de Fer, L'Alpe d'Huez and Galibier that are the landmarks.. and don't worry a few months ago I only knew of Alpe d'Huez!!!
