Briançon
Mägge and Hille left early in the morning to head back to Davos. We set off to Briançon to explore one of Vauban's fortified towns. Vauban was a military engineer to King Louis XVI during the mid-18th century. He designed around eight fortified towns in the region, including Briançon, which is now a UNESCO world heritage site. The town is known for its many sundials so we enjoyed hunting for them as we went on our walking tour. We ...
Col d'Izoard

When I reached the pass and had some time to catch my breath and gulp down lots of water, I looked across the road and saw Tanya and Mägge happily shopping at a roadside stand. It turns out that it was a candy stand and it was the vendor’s last day up at the top!

The toughest bike ride of my life
... during their stay in France with us. Before I continue writing about today’s experience, let me outline the profile of my fellow bike riders and myself. Mägge, Hille, Tanya and Rod have all been mountain biking and road riding for anywhere between 15-25 years and have done long distance, multi-day rides like the BC Bike Race and the Trans Alps. I on the other hand am an amateur cheese and chocolate taster, near professional patisserie eater that ...
Col de l'Iseran
... of me. Anyhow, glad that we had finally met up, we unloaded cold weather gear and had a tasty lunch at the top. They then rode back down while I drove back with everything. We stopped in Bonneval for a café au lait and then carried on back to camp. Even though I didn’t get any pictures of them, the drive was beautiful (all 4 times up/down!). I can see why the local drivers know the corners so well and can drive at the speeds they do!
