We had a wonderful day riding (driving) through the French countryside; fabulous scenery and some epic climbs. The last one (Col de la Columbiere) is a "beyond category" climb and the weather and conditions couldn't have been better. You can see Vern victorious at the top and him riding with Peter Thomson (owner of Thomson tours). Staying at a beautiful hotel in La Clusaz, which is another ski area. The other picture is of the "A group" of riders; Vern says he had one of his best days in the big mountains. The entire group of riders (20 in all) is really a nice bunch; one father/son, and one grandfather/son/grandson! The oldest rider is 74 and the youngest is 19. Looking forward to my first glass of wine for the day, as I was very busy helping out in the van, pouring water, getting snacks and being Vern's domestique!
OK Vern, where are the rest of the riders in the second picture. You better not say back at the room drinking a beer. The answer should be "further down the mountain". Great pictures Karen.
