This climb is a nice little switchback road which means the descent, on foot, is fairly short.  The descent is down a steep track from the chapel and fairly quick.

A couple of minutes off my March 2022 time but it was probably colder 10C on the climb and 12C in the valley with drizzle. However a PR on the flat section, a phyrric victory :-).

Last year I was dissapointed to have climbed in 58 minutes. This year, almost the same time to the second and I'm quite pleased with a VAM of 784m.

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.

Decided to take this nice little climb and loop back around via the Venon descent. 21m44 for the climb, a bit off the 20m03 of last year but not too bad as I'm a bit bushed with work at the moment.

Commute via St Mury this morning. Slightly less climbing but a bit longer. Climb was good. 3 minutes quicker than June and just 48s off my PR set last year.

Got up reasonably early to ride in to work via one of the valley cols.

It has been a while since we've been up to Aix les Bains, last year the petrol costs were off-putting plus too many other distractions. S-N along the lake into the wind was not bad at 3m46.

I'd cycled down from the col de Pré Long last weekend and the road surface looked ok so I decided to ski if it could be rollerskied. I parked at St Mury.

I got up reasonably early (for a Sunday) but it was already warm, fortunately the first section is in the trees. I skated at a reasonable pace, more focussed on technique hence 3m51 overall.
