I currently have a my winter bike - an 8 sp Giant, a bit heavy at 14kg. I don't really understand how it is so heavy really. Clearly aluminium frames are not that light.

A very cold ride to run in my change of tires from some commuter stuff to Michelin Lithion 4s.

I left a little late, but I wanted to try out the new bike path between Crolles and Tencin.

Trying to make 50K meters for the year but still 1000 meters short and weather has been a bit chill for getting out.

After a failed outing yesterday. Every time we gained a little altitude leaving Lyon, we ran into blizzards of snow, but today the weather was clear, sunny, and cold. Very cold, with a breeze.

It has been quite a while since I've done over 100km. Lack of time. Lack of motivation. Concerns about form. Excuses, excuses.

Another way to explore the hills of Mont d'Or. This time, forming a figure of 8 loop.

Return to the Mont d'Or quarry road but with a slightly easier start than the one I took the other day even if there was a bit more gravel.

Slight variant to the summit of Mont Thou via la Dargoire. It's an 8km direct climb around 6%. Today's vam was 700m/h which is not bad on the roads around here.

Bike ride during my lunch break. I left late, so I only had an hour to ride, so the three hills in the middle of Grésivaudan seemed like a good choice.
