It was nice (but not a sportive, just a bunch of guys). We rode up la Ramaz from Mieussy, then Encrenaz which brought us to Morzine, so Joux-Plane was from the easy side. They're patching up the roads on Ramaz and J-Plane, French style, loose gravel over asphalt. We turned off toward Villard above Samoens (near the alpine museum) to escape that. I think longest day for me this year.

Yup, that's a big one! Lots of sketchy descents this year in the H-S

Joux Plane in 90 F weather was probably the hardest climb I ever did in the Alps.

Colombiere was painful, but for some reason I didn't find it to be quite as tough.

Riding in the rain this morning. Very unusual for this area and time of year.
