A small group from QTn and Christchurch have joined others in Europe riding the roads made famous by the Tour de France
Today Tues 1st we left Thonon on the shores of Lake Leman (Geneva) bound for Nice
We road easily from Thonon this morning and went up via lac Montriod to top of Avoriaz
This is the backroad and traffic is very light
Although the road climbs steeply for a sectio it eases consideably after "goat town"
A small village sitting inside the Morzine /Avoriaz ski area that is overrun by goats - and it smells accordingly
Natasha research in Avoriaz found no cafes and so we descended and had lunch in Morzine with rain beginning and it continued and rained hard between Taninges and Samoen
We arrived soaked to the skin but we're much better after hot bath
Forecast tommorrow better as we tackle the first major col on route - Columbia
