Grand Tour Des Alpes

First of seven days to go from Thonon les Bains to Menton. 700km and 15000m climb. Our group of 14 cyclists left Thonon at 10. First pass was the Col de Gets at 1163m. We ate a well deserved lunch in Cluses and started the climb to Col de Colombiere at 1613m. Quite a tough one of 16,3km with a gradient of 10,2% the last kilometer up to the pass. We are staying in La Clusaz.
