Quite possibly the wrong place for this but I'm heading to the Alps with @J0nathan and a couple of others not of this parish in August. We're going to be based near Alpe d'Huez for 7 days.
Any recommendations for routes around there? Will have access to a car so can drive someplace and do a loop. Obviously there is an embarrassment of riches in terms of climbs around those parts and plenty of detailed websites, but what's not to miss? Huez, Galabier and Croix de Fer on the hit list so far but it'd be good to get routes sorted and loaded onto garmins/maps bought before we head out :)
I currently live in Grenoble. Hit me up if you need any info about the area or wanna stop by for a pint, though I do not recommend the latter as the valley in which Grenoble lies and the roads to it are polluted as fuck.
