Outing with the aim of not forcing it, in stroll mode, super pleasant (but without being overtaken either!)

Hello Norman Cyclists,
that's done...
Today it's sunny, so an excursion to Savoy with the ascent of the Col de la Croix de fer (HC) and the Col du Glandon from Bourg d'Oisans. A 24 km long climb and 1260m D + with an irregular profile to eat a regional sandwich and drink a good well-deserved beer at the top. …

Now turn right onto the Croix de Fer after having turned left twice before on the Glandon. Still one of the most beautiful climbs. Nice view of the lakes.

August 14, 2021,Allemont - Col de la Cruix de Fer

From the parking lot to the summit along the Col de la Croix de Fer (thus saving the first altitude meters) and who can go down to Allemont around the reservoir and back to the parking lot. There are sources of drinking water in several places.
