Category Tour de France

After a car transfer to Beaufort, I cycled the Col du Pré which was scheduled in 2014 but skipped, and finished off the day with Les Arcs.

Starting at my doorstep I cycled to Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne for the climb up to Valmeinier.

Stage 7 brought me the formidable Iseran from Val Cenis and a disappointing Tignes as desert.

I cycled the Col du Mollard from Villargondran - 40 hairpins! - and then Le Chalmieu.

A rather short stage today, mainly due to the miserable weather, but Plan du Lac was a brutal climb and I called it a day at its summit.

I only did the Croix de Fer from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne once and I had no good, let alone fond memories of it.
