Mid morning MTB tour in the sun

Climb via the road, 55 minutes on an MTB, descent via the trails from the Col du Lauteret, rode through village via Mt Fallet track then back to la Roare.

Direct climb to the Superga from Turin in 25m53, a long way from Thibot Pinot's race winning time of 13m38 and he'd ridden from Milan! The climb is 450 meters at 9% with a couple of ramps en-route.

The climb to St Jean le Vieux starts in Domene. It is a 500 meter climb at and average 9% over 5.8km with a few ramps and flats en-route. At about 3.

DescriptionThe Col d'Hurtières is a nice little climb out of the Gresivaudan valley near Tencin.

Still suffering from a broken rib due to bike crash so couldn't push it on the flat although largely ok on the hills (different position).

Relatively steep climb on the south-east side of Grenoble up through the village of le Venon (bar opposite the church).

Classic Turin Loop. I did it on a hybrid bike hired from Touringbike which was in good condition but heavier than I'm used to. The climb to the Superga is spectacular with views over Turin.
