@haraldkliems.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gyOur hotel was in a suburb of Grenoble. Grenoble is the kind of city where even slightly run down suburbs look awesome because there's always the backdrop of the surrounding mountains.

@keeppedaling.bsky.socialOne week from now, I’ll be setting off on my next bikepacking adventure. The bike is ready, the bags are coming together, and the route is starting to feel real. There are plenty of miles ahead, a lot of climbing, and no shortage of unknowns. #bikepacking #biketouring #cycletravel #graveladventure
@haraldkliems.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gyWe started climbing from Annecy immediately, toward the Semnoz/Crêt de Chatillon -- no warmup. It was sunny in the valley but the clouds were still hanging low over the mountain. It's a long and strenuous climb, gaining well over 1000 meters of elevation.
@haraldkliems.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gyThe Col des Pitons was the highest point of the day, and there it really was raining. We suited up accordingly for the descent toward Annecy, where we spent the night.
@haraldkliems.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gyNow that I'm back and have recovered a little, I'll start posting pics from our #BikeTouring trip through the French Alps. We got a late afternoon start from Geneva and rode up the Saléve. This photo is after the high point and on the way to the Col des Pitons […]
