The last big one



Auberge near the top of the Colombier

Just a very short post because I lost what I drafted last night and was unable to publish owing to no WiFi or 4g service.

We made it over the Col de Grand Colombier yesterday (Sunday). This was the last of the really hard cols on our tour so it is good to have it behind us.

We covered 140km (more than intended because I screwed up reading the mileages off the routesheet 😠) and climbed 3181m. We spent the night near Lochieu.

    Since Bourg St. Maurice you've done the climbs I did in the 2002 etape du tour. Except on a solo after a weeks rest. Otherwise just the same! Bonne Route mes amis. Good luck.
