A bit of technique training for classic. I took advantage of this gentle 3% hill to give a bit of resistance for diagonal stride. Getting reasonably comfortable at the end of the session.

A short Saturday morning ski tour with Valerie, I was on classic skis and Valerie on skating. Very windy and we had to be careful on the way back with the amount of junk on the roads.

A slight variant on the Superloop, this time going straight from work which adds around 5km. Arms were a bit tired at the end with nearly 20k at lunch. I also took in the Isle d'Amour bridge.

General DescriptionThe ski resort of Les Deux Alpes is situated in the Oisans area of the Isère department in the Northern Alps.

A little tour in the warm, maybe too warm, autumn sunshine.

A return to classic style after a few weeks of skating. Working on weight transfer for both kick double pole (pas d'un) and diagonal stride (alternatif) techniques. 4m49/km which is not too bad.

More for fun, we hired the Col de Porte rollerski track for a Saturday morning session of skating and exercises.

The climb was harder at the end than I remembered. In general it felt quite easy, not like I was really killing it. It took 32m44s for the complete climb with a VAM of over 900.

Why not ski from work along the large bike paths of the Innovalley. Well no good reason plus I commute on them and there is hardly anyone who uses the paths which are both wide and well maintained.

A little pre Sunday lunch ride with tot over the Bergers climb and down the steps. After my recent crash didn't clear 1 of the steps as I didn't want another bad knee.
