Road Ride 2:15:00 [3] 52.0 km (2:36 / km) +1100m 2:21 / km
My girls are off to Canada for 3 weeks so all of a sudden, I found myself in need of a ride. I had designs on making a nice little climbing tour of the lake but pelting rain kicked in so I bailed on the second climb. Col de Forclaz felt more difficult than normal as I'm still fatigued from last Sunday's epic amount of climbing. I also really noticed the difference in French alpine road construction versus Italian. The Italians seem much more interested in creating banked turns...which makes for quicker and more controlled descents.
