Col du Glandon

Turn left ride up for 20 km. How hard could it be on such a lovely spring morning? After three hours pedalling in my lowest gear up and up, I stopped for drink, food bar, and a quick pic. Then onto the top. Minus 3 and awesomely spectacular. A quick selfie on top and then the hard descent. 20 km under constant braking took its toll on my arms and wrists. A great day out.


It was hard to smile at minus 3 with numb fingers.
