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
... whole meal (cheese course excluded) was very delicious and we left extremely stuffed, but thoroughly satisfied! Megs’ meal consisted of an appetizer of a cabbage roll salad with a mustard-type dressing. The main course was a local trout covered in a blueberry sauce served with rice and vegetables.

Col de l'Iseran
We had a relaxing morning in camp before heading off to meet up with Dad & Tan in Lanslebourg, about 2 hours away. Once we started driving, Anoop mentioned that he would like us to drive to the top of the Col du Petit St. Bernard to check out the view. He had seen it mentioned in a brochure and was quite keen to head up. A "col" is a mountain pass and a word that will figure prominently in the next several posts! We figured we had ...
