Still a bit of work to be done before we can think about climbing the Galibier! Bon courage @valloire

[Valloire Galibier ☀️❄️ @valloire]

🔴 en direct des travaux de déneigement du #Galibier ⛰✨ Mètre après mètre, les hommes et les machines de @SavoieDepart libèrent la route du col de sa neige ❄️👌🏻 Impressionnant ! 😍

Exciting to see the Giro route for May 2021...
The climb to Zoncolan is bonkers, but at least a classic Dolomites day after to look forward to!

[Bike Weekender @Bikeweekender]

Our confinement 20km radius still includes most of our local climbs and cols - just got to get round and back in less than 3 hours! Roll on the weekend..

@EpicRoadRides La Grand Bo..... a super friendly event with choice of route lengths - finishing with Col de la Colombiere and the descent into the village. Just like the Tour de France

[Bike Weekender @Bikeweekender]

Stunning views, above the valley clouds...

Very excited to see our home village of Le Grand Bornand @mongrandbo on the map again as a stage finish... Memories of 2018 when @alafpolak1 burst onto the TdF scene in style!

🤩 Here is the official #TDF2021 route!

@backyardprovenc Found this trail and the tunnels just 2 weeks ago.... Stunning way of seeing the gorge from the bottom!

[Bike Weekender @Bikeweekender]

@cyclingalps Looks like the col d'Evires....
Great route again!

[Bike Weekender @Bikeweekender]

@EpicRoadRides Of course stage finish in Grand Bornand again after the Romme and Colombiere - but also Ventoux twice could be epic!

A little midweek #WednesdayMotivation

We have visited the town of #Annecy a few times now and can't wait to visit again when we can.

Another great day for Tour de France action - passing by our home base in the Alps on this stunning mountain day...

Une montagne peut en cacher une autre 🗻😉 #LaClusaz #SavoieMontBlanc #Aravis

[Bike Weekender @Bikeweekender]

Our kids love exploring the tree houses and cabins on this walk! Cool in the shade too!

[Bike Weekender @Bikeweekender]

It's a brutal climb.... but as always, a great feeling at the top!
Top tip - make sure you have the right gearing for the Motirolo! Get a 32 on the back!

[La Vie en Vélo @LaVieEnVelo]

Very few pictures ever capture the severity of really steep climbs. This sort of tells the story. This is @pedropeters222, who is in good shape, in the second kilometre of the Mortirolo and there are another 10km just like it to go!

Nasty, nasty, nasty!

Chapeau, gentlemen!

@EpicRoadRides La Bérarde and St Cristophe de Oisans. An out and back up the valley, but stunning ride and often a quiet road.
Plus micro-brewery in St Cristophe at cool old auberge!
