Alps Greatest Hits Tour......

So, just at my hotel for the night in La Clusaz.

A great day on the bike and a nice feeling knowing that the riding and the views just get better and better over the next three days.

Highlight of the day was riding up and over the Col du Berthiand and then having lunch sat alongside Lake Nantua.

Then a quick blast up to Col de La Colombiere for a coffee before heading to La Clusaz.

Perfect day for riding the bike with temps topping out at 26 C.

Tunes of the day were by Gilbert O’Sullivan. If Hippy wasn’t offgrid he would be so appreciative of such songwriting genius !

Meanwhile it’s beer o clock

Wonder if Evskij is still caning the 1290 ?

Looks like I’ve found a good eatery tonight , though to be fair last night’s calzone was excellent.
 
Just back from castellane on Friday. Wonky pics sorry

Ok, I guess the high viz slap head needs food pics . These will be the only ones all week I think as won’t be beaten .And the food may go downhill when the vegan asylum seeker gets with the program !! :))


Bistro Les 2 Mules in La Clusaz- just stunning . Three courses for €38.
No steak frites (shouted FRITZ) so look away now you Ibis Styles lot :))

Att is going to go mental when he sees that crockery! :p
 
Arrived at my digs for the night. Circa 440 miles in one day, certainly makes you feel knackered.

Pics through the journey:

A tree, a field and some straw bales.

A cemetery in the middle of bloody nowhere. Certainly peaceful to rest. Until KTM 1290 roars by

No idea what it is, but I liked it, so I got a snap of it.

Found a house, liked it, might I migrate back to EU since racists voted out and got everybody confused in the process. :hide

Curves, hills, forest = big grin

I am not competing with Arsey, but here is my veggie option. It was ok, I had better.
