Bonjour!
What a day it was!
The plans from the beginning were ambitious – 140km and 3500 meters of elevation gain… but something went wrong from the very start… although in line with the cap that I – unknowingly – chose perfectly for this day.
Ride Fast! At the selected starting point – the parking lot in Drap – I had to modify my morning routine, which turned out to be the beginning of a great adventure. “Gas-powered cycling” – several hours in the company of roaring engines, magnificent cars, beautiful landscapes and fumes of burnt gasoline. It couldn’t have ended differently – I invite you to watch the longest video on my channel. Good luck and perseverance in watching and listening – and this time I don’t mean my usual chatter.. :P
