Tour on the flat. Took the Ch. de l'Empereur up. Some sections have suffered in the winter but beyond le Touvet it was good apart from a ford.

Preprandial loop to get a bit of air on what should be (and were)  some dry trails. Quite a few people around. A bit muggy, better close to the river.

A little aperitif ride on the flat along the tow paths of the river. We explored some strange track shown on google earth, a kind of loop.

This is becoming our regular winter ride but the singles are too wet at the moment until I service my front fork.

This is a good option if it is damp as the tow paths along the side of the Isere are well drained. You can ride as far as the Grenoble and beyond but pick up a surfaced path at Gieres going south.
