I'd spotted they'd completed the Gieres to Domene cycle path so was keen to try it out on roller skis. I didn't know how long it would take so started from the ca-rpark at the start of the towpath.

Despite the headwind I was pleased to improve my time on the north segment to 12m48, moving me up about 10 places on Strava.

Final nordic skiing session of the winter, probably. At least in resort. La Feclaz closed yesterday and I'd hoped things would still be okay for skiing today.

In theory the closing weekend at les 7 Laux although they often extend the season if the conditions are good.

Morning session at the 7 Laux. We did a few tops to bottom and general larking.

Last Barioz before the annual closure on the 31st March. Overall a good season. I skied the Creve Coeur, Refuge, Levant and Luisard for a good tour of the runs. Excellent skiing.

Trip around the sites of Paris, Opera, Madeleine, Assembly National, Champs Elysees, Arch de Triomphe, Seine, Tuilleries, Louvre etc. Only in Paris.
