Alps - Col de la Croix de Fer and Glandon

I sometimes wonder whatever possessed anyone to bring a bicycle to the Alps. The valley floor is dead flat and tedious, the hills arising on all sides are outrageous near vertical walls of rock leading to snow capped peaks. It has however become some type of cycling Mecca and today we paid homage to another hill...... Col de la Croix de Fer with the Col de Glandon thrown in as an extra being a minor diversion from the main route to Croix de Fer. 90 km of riding with 2000 m of climbing is pretty much our standard daily ride
Todays highlights were the company of Tom and Ted (Maine, USA) and Tony (Tasmania - near Australia), good weather yet again, more food, the descent, the driveway and the cow trough, rest and more food.
And that's about it for now... the photos can tell the story and I'm off to bed.
