Up in the French Alps where the Tour de France often goes.
The Cols are high and cool .... and tough for cyclists ....
Not on the route this year due to a landslip and road repairs.
But just to give a flavour of the roads ....
The Col du Glandon summit with a Collage carbon bike parked at it !!
And the road up to the Col de la Croix de fer
Both long and tough .... up and down too ..... This one went up high then back down to the vally floor before rising again up to the summit of the Col .... now that's just hard work for the sake of it .... nothing easy here !!
I love the sport !!
I can't get up them nowadays .... but 20 years ago .... I was game then !!
