To try to find a bit of freshness, I went up to the Vercors plateau, at 1000m the temperature is 24°, perfect for a walk. On the way back down to Grenoble, it was horrible. Too hot 🥵

Dream weather, azure sky, and freshness in the Gorges du Furon.

Chrono climb to St Nizier just under the hour mark.
Dropped by a Colnago rocket above the No Venom Tower 🚀☘️

If you happen to live in Grenoble, it's almost impossible to find a route under 1000 m 😁

GPS problem at the start (time OK, distance and Vmoy poor)
5 min less on the climb compared to last year. Looking forward to 5/6 years from now 😛

...by the most direct route I know.
2 hours at 0 -3° is the max!
And 2 hours in the exhaust is too much.
