Col du chat

We got some great views as we climbed the mountian road over our final col of the trip (Col du Chat) - its only 450 meters or so, it was a mere hill in comparisson to the 1,000meter plus mountains we had been crossing. This single pass took us back across the Jura, which are much narrower here at their southern extremity compared to the more northerly solo crossing.

Given the relatively light challenge offered by the mountain we decided to make it interesting by following on the wheels of guys riding unladen carbon-fiber racing bikes; the looks on thier faces when they looked around and saw that they hadn't been able to shake us off were classic.En savoir plus
