A rainy day







Wow, what a day! It rained off and on the entire day and everyone slogged through some beautiful country. Luckily, it was the shortest day on the bike with three passes (Col de Saisies, Col des Aravis and the Cormet de Roselend--9000 feet of climbing.) The pictures are views on the way and Vern at the summit of the last pass. Then a 20K descent into Bourg St. Maurice to our hotel. Saw lots of cows--the only wild life. I was especially impressed by this cow on a bicycle. The forecast for tomorrow is much improved as we ride south, so I'm hopeful this will be our only day of clouds and wet. Still having a great time--suffering bonds folks together!
