Yesterday I went out for a ride in the Monts du Lyonnais, an area I know fairly well, but I have never actually ridden the famous lacets de Courzieu which have a certain reputation among local riders

Where to go? Another avalanche alert, resorts and pistes shut. Clearly we'd need to stay below 2000m and given the claggy cloud somewhere with tree line skiing.

No snow for cross country so a little cycle ride to blow out the work cob webs.

A quick outing to test the November powder before heading to work in the afternoon. I had considered Grand Rocher, but decided that Prabert would offer better conditions.

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.

A Murianette with a vam of 700 with the very steep climb of Rocharey added to the end.

Lunch ride to cover a few kms before the vacation. It was actually a bit more climbing than I expected, around 700 meters.

My old morning or evening commute route. I was WFH so did this as a lunch ride as I couldn't be bothered to get up early. VAM of 825m/h for 30 minutes including a stop to give a lady directions.

Little afternoon ride before the TdF finish.

I wanted to do a Grand Col but have tendonitis so this is the nearest thing within easy reach of the house.
