Mont-Saxonnex

Mont-Saxonnex is a typical village with a café, a bakery and a magnificent view! I recommend the homemade ice cream if you are taking a break.

It is an impressive road that winds between forest and cliffs. It runs along the Gorges du Bronze to Mont Saxonnex. The colors in autumn are magnificent.

The Col de la Colombière is a pretty Alpine pass, connecting the Borne valley to the Avre valley. It was climbed more than 23 times by Tour de France riders between 1960 and 2021. It is an essential part of the sporting event.

Route du Col de Romme

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Very steep descent (or climb, depending on your direction) passing large cliffs and rock faces next to the road. This pass connects the large town of Cluses to the high mountains and opens the doors to several possibilities for cool road bike routes.

I wanted to escape the rain so I didn't recognize the entire route, but the Col de la Colombière finish is painful! The last 3 kilometers were in total fog, and the temperature is very low at the top...

Departure at 8.15 a.m. for the 91km circuit with 284 participants. The ascent of the Colombière pass went well, I had better feelings than the previous days. A small group of around twenty riders then formed at the bottom of the descent, before Saint Jean de Sixt... The problem is that there were only two of us riding, the others refused to take over! Quite frustrating... In the end, they were unhooked on the flat surface and in the rather demanding ascent of Mont-Saxonnex. The road was unfortunately not closed, some car drivers did not hesitate to overtake dangerously .. even if it meant getting stuck with a car coming from the front and not being able to pass. I had to dismount in the ascent, and it also happened with a cyclist 200m in front of me: only organizational downside of this cyclosportive in my opinion, the opener motorcycles could protect the cyclists more. Final result, 61st. Objective of finishing in the first third achieved, but I was hoping for better given the sensations! Dependent contrast...
