The road (2)
20 июля 2024 г., Швейцария ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Yes. Pretty good day. I wasn’t aware I came through Gstaad. I don’t know why it is a tourist attraction, but it is. A bit busy therefore. Otherwise the Col du Pillon was a road mainly populated byЧитать далее
No news today
21 июля 2024 г., Швейцария ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Restdays are just that. Do nothing. I varied laying in bed with a short walk through town in between the rainy spells. I got a bit of a view of the mountains I will be heading into tomorrow andЧитать далее
And up we go
22 июля 2024 г., Швейцария ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
There we go again. Into the real mountains now. Starting with the Col de la Forclaz. I overtook a cyclist halfway up the climb. You know, one without luggage on the bike… well, I guess it says moreЧитать далее
Mt. Blanc is quite white
22 июля 2024 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Somewhere over there the Mt, Blanc is hiding.
Just got over the Col du Montets and now it is downhill to Chamonix. I am pretty much riding straight towards the Mt. Blanc, but the peak has beenЧитать далее
Spotted!

There it is.
It was quite challenging to also keep an eye on the road. It is pretty intimidating riding along these high peaks and the glacier. Nice.
My nek hurts a bit now. 😜
Home sweet home
22 июля 2024 г., Франция ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
After a really nice day of cycling I stopped just shy of 100km.
This is one reason
23 июля 2024 г., Франция ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
The views from the top usually are better than from the valley.
Why
23 июля 2024 г., Франция ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
I have been overtaken by approximately €100.000,- worth of bikes and I am wondering why people want to go up here. Well, I did too, but I seriously doubt my sanity.
Especially with all the gear IЧитать далее
Horizontal grafitti

Some people decorated the road up here.
I found a bit of Norway today
24 июля 2024 г., Франция ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Funny how quickly a landscape can change.
When I came down the Madeleine yesterday, the valley was boring, industrial and stank (France stinks anyway with seemingly everybody driving oldЧитать далее
The highest
24 июля 2024 г., Франция ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Contrary to what some people believe the Col d’Iseran actually is the highest paved mountain pass in Europe. And I went over it 💪🏻.
This falls in the category “Why” again, but I do like myЧитать далее
We meet again
25 июля 2024 г., Франция ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
I almost completed a full lap around the Mont Blanc. From the Petit St. Bernard I could finally see the top again. No clouds this time.
The last one
25 июля 2024 г., Франция ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
And going over the Petit St. Bernard I finished all the uphill riding for this trip. Just a short downhill to go to Aosta where this bike trip will end.
Pink is okay
25 июля 2024 г., Франция ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Pink roads, pink signs, pink bike.
Destination
25 июля 2024 г., Италия ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
That’s that. I’ve cycled through Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Switzerland en finished in Italy. A little over 1300km and 16.000m of climbing.
Very enjoyable. Not everyЧитать далее
