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.

A short skate along the boardwalk mainly working on balance as I had no poles as my back is still hurting

I guess with all the rain recently it was no surprise that the Bourget lake path was flooded. Still this didn't put off most of Chambery and Aix les Bains going for a walk, or paddle.

A quick tour along the lake to check out conditions. It was pretty hot after lunch with a bit of a breeze from the north.

A little tour along the lac after lunch at the Chalet d'Aix. Very quiet out of season.

Usual lake roll before a swim. Not too busy for a Sunday but some walkers in the Tresserve car park were not pleased to see a roller skier.

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

GPS didn't work for part of the trip so missed about 3km. Going quiet well and better style after a lesson with Valentin from the Ecole de Porte.

A short rollerski down the lake cyclepath at the lake du Bourget
