Here's a few pics to whet your appetite lads
Today I rode one of my favourite Swiss mountain passes, the Grand St Bernard Pass. It has only been open officially a few days and we will be riding it towards the end of Day 1 in September.
The Road was quite rough in places with plenty of evidence of recently cleared rock slides, but it is a beautifully natural and quiet place.
Plenty of snow still around although most of it will be gone by September.
The GSA looks perfectly at home in these surroundings.
Stopped at the top for a coffee and slice of Tarte Tatin Parked next to a load of UK Wings which failed to make the GSA look small.
Remember this? Well this is what it looked like last August.
What a difference a few months makes
Temperature was around 20C in Aosta as low as 6.5C at the top of the pass where it did sleet briefly and then 22C back down at the bottom of the Swiss side.
Roll on September
