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

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

Went via the Church, which was a bit unusual as it is very very steep but I'd forgotten the correct turn, anyway it was shorter. Climb took 56m29 for a VAM of 822, which seems ok.

I was trying to find a flatter path to the Tower of the Dogs but ended up doing a series of small but steep climbs. I missed the road and looped round via the Corenc town hall on the Ch.

La Tour des ChiensThe fortified house of Arvilliers, known as the "Tour des Chiens", stands at the foot of Mont Saint-Eynard in the Chartreuse region, at an altitude of 530 m.

I really didn't fancy going out, it has been grey and cold for days but at least it wasn't raining. Thankful for small mercys.

Not a day I fancied going out much. Decided to revisit the climb of Mont Thou but registered my slowed time of the autumn despite feeling okay. Probably the cold compared to earlier in the year.

Ride to work but staying on the Chartreuse side of the valley to allow a bail out if time was a problem 1h11 for the ride so leaving at 7.30 was in work for 8.40.

Little tour with tot. I didn't feel like too much climbing today so we just did the Manival trail to the cross track.

I've got the summer road bike fixed and working so decided to take it out for a spin. first real climbing this year and a return to an old favourite.
