• Col d'Iseran

    Rivaled Galibier in terms of beauty!!! Biked through a valley of wildflowers and waterfalls cascadinding off the mountains on either side, and then biked Up up UP. There were more mountaintop meadows and cows with bells on their necks halfway up. By the time we got to the top (the highest altitude we've been) Ben had a headache and I felt nauseous lol. Quick tuna sandwiches and then started descending and felt much better. Passed AG2R LA Mondiale TDF team training (I guess they weren't competing) which was cool. Had some good craft beers at the bottom, and then biked thru some crazy tunnels that went through the sides of mountains. Cool but a little scary. For me, Iseran was maybe my #1 tour Day so far! Ben still thinks Galibier takes the cake. But more days to come! 😁Read more
