Mountain Biking: Autumnal Cold

Sat, 6 November 2010

Technical

Vertical Climbed: 250 meters (820 feet)

Description

Despite a persistent cold I wanted to take advantage of this wonderful autumn day. Nothing difficult. Superb countryside with the Chartreuse and especially the Belledonne as backdrops. Not a technical route but I've never seen a road as steep as the climb to la haute Frette. Passed in front of many chateaux and interesting buildings.

Route Taken: Didn't take leg to la Gorge and missed footbridge over the Carre river

Weather: Sunny
