We decided to do the same route as last week but with the wind hoped there would be no walkers on it, which was the case.

A little tour along the lac after lunch at the Chalet d'Aix. Very quiet out of season.

After yesterday's ride I wanted a gentle leg loosener so decided to head out onto the tow path for a rollerski.

The Col de la Loze is a new paved road pass in France having only been opened in the spring of 2019. From Brides-les-Bains there is 23.5km of climbing with a total vertical of 1700 meters.

We wanted to ride the single to the Cascade to Craponoz, a huge waterfall behind the house. We climbed via the Champ Bertin as far as the reservoirs behind Beauregard.

I crossed Jean Marc Mora on the climb to Lancey, I'd last seen him about 5 years ago.

I was pretty tired Thursday with a bad hip so decided not to go out cycling (it was cold and foggy in the valley in the morning) but wait until the afternoon when it was warmer to do a tour.

I fancied some flat riding today and decided that a trip up and down the river as far as the town of Pontcharra would fit the bill. I've not ridden the whole of this route before.

15th climb of the Semnoz is a roller ski competition held in the autumn for the last 15 seasons. It is part of the national Rollerski Challenge series.

Back to climbing on classic skis.
