That’s somewhere between Swiss and France, easy like a Sunday ride. Rain stopped by now.

Col de L’Iseran – the highest one – 2770 m. A very long way up, it was like we went up for ages.

Another one, near Valoire.

This picture was taken on the highest road in Europe. 2802 m, couldn’t see much because it was in the clouds. Incredible road to get there.

    Great region for biking about. We had several times fantastic times! Still. My favourite is Col du Galibrier.
