The Col de Galibier in France has just closed for six months, so I rode up it the day before.
Wonderful high, wild countryside.
You can rent a place near Briancon easily and climb this as well as the cols of Granon, Montgenevre, Izoard, Agnel and Vars and lots of lower ones too. June and September best I find …

I hired an assisted MTB today

I hired an assisted MTB today to go and enjoy the snow … any recommendations for gloves that work at -5 please? This is just below the summit ridge of Le Meale near the Ecrins National Park in France at 2400m. Sorry it was too cold to wait for a gap in the clouds … The motor did not overheat!

More from Abruzzo, this is Campo Imperatore or Emperors Field, high up in the Appenines half way between Rome and Pescara.  Day 7 of the Giro will finish here, I think in the valley just below the peak on the left.

Abruzzo in the summer…

Abruzzo in the summer…this is the Via Verde a new cycling and walking path along the old railway line along the coast.  The Giro is starting here with an individual TT in May, I *might* be able to wangle watching it from a yacht…
