Straight out of the blocks this morning Lindsay was firing on all cylinders and the peleton of 5 rode to the start line (20kms) in Geneva just managed to hang on to the back wheel (Lindsay likes to now think of himself as the Italian stallion - having done some training in Italy)
Nice roads and cycle lanes soon saw us on the Geneva waterfront waiting on the jets d’or to blast (for the photo opportunity) A coffee (and crepe) filled the time
1034 and we departed for Thonon and the true route des grandes alpes start.
A busy road and 30kms saw us struggle a little to find the D902 but a Morzine.
sign saved the day and we turn south for the first time into the gorge diablo.
Uphill climbing - but it is only a 3 % grade so easy spinning almost all the way to Morzine.
A small zig zag to finish and we find our hotel the Igloo.
And dont you all look the part especially with a large water spout rising in the background. Glad it warm there snow has been falling off and on for past 2 day in your home region. Stadium Southlands roof collapsed under snow load. But I am OK in case you are worried.
