Deliverance 6 – Back to Annecy

0
0

For the 6th year we went back to basics. Three days in the Alps, starting from Annecy.  Perfect weather, 8 riders, a camera man (who joined and just stayed) and support driver/manager, made for incredible riding.  The Alps are just awakening from winter and it was stunning.

Werner and I arrived a day early and went for a leg loosener around lake Annecy.  The first day was from Annecy to La-Toussuire, including the amazing Lacets de Montvernier.  A small shortcut made it a round 180km(!)  Madness…

On Day 2 we did the classic Marmotte Cyclo route (minus the Glandon)

Galibier – Col de Telegraph – Alpe d’Huez (some of us took the back route: stunning alternative!)

Day 3 we rode back to Annecy.  A stunning cloud filled descent awaited us in Alpe d’Huez on our way to the Glandon and on to the Col de Madeleine.  Real Alpine classic cols!  We survived and did the Col de Tamié just to suck the last legs out of the legs.  Amazing climbs and SUPER descents.  Last thing to do was to celebrate and we did it in style with a barbeque in Talloires.

Can’t wait for Deliverance 7.
