Well - it had started.










HI all followers: today the Alps Challenge has started. our trip included Col Des Aravis and Col Des Saisies.
Col De Aravis was not to steep to begin with and we moved along quite leisurely, until we hit the steep part which was ok.

Col Des Saisies was long (more than 15Km and
steep in places. coming down from both hills was lots of switchbacks and very steep downhill.

the day was sunny and beautiful (we have been promised it will rain tomorrow and Sunday)

at the end of the day we are tired and happy, and looking forward for tomorrow.
Tomorrow - Col De Madelaine (Long and steep), and Col Des Telegraph (Short and Steep[er])
Happy days.
