Briançon
... kept on going and were glad when we arrived back. It was a beautiful ride and I was glad we had all been able to ride together for a bit.
After dinner a guy named Daan wandered over to our campsite and started chatting. He was cycling from Amsterdam to Monaco! He had just graduated and asked the company he was hired at if he could start 3 months from later so that he could do a cycling trip. He is a naval architect and was going to ...
Col d'Izoard

Within a few minutes of starting the climb up Telegraph, I dropped back from the main group to go at my pace. Meghan was following in the van and taking pictures of us along the way. It ...
Col de l'Iseran
... I also checked out all the pull-outs to see where the optimum photo vantage points were for the next day. As we drove down there were sheep and cows grazing everywhere, cute mountain huts with stone roofs and a beautiful waterfall and stream.
