Briançon
... would come along and put his hand on my lower back which seemed to make a huge difference. After several stops on the way up we finally arrived at the top, in the shade, with no view. Oh well – it was still a pretty ride up! We then returned part way down the hill to a sunny spot where we pulled over to enjoy our pain au chocolat before heading back to the car. The way back was really cold since it was all downhill and in the shade – ...

Col de l'Iseran
... down the mountain, we started out. The plan was for me to drive all the gear and lunch to the top and stop and take pictures of everyone along the way. They gave me an ETA of when they would be at the top and an estimated riding speed so that I wouldn’t be waiting around too long.
