Arrived at 08:30 on a sleeper train. Got settled into the Hotel Edelweiss, had a nap and then decided to give the col d'Izoard a blast. 2361 m in 12 miles at an average of 7.77mph.
Simply amazing scenery which helps when you are turning the pedals. The summit is now my favourite place in the world. Great weather, rode above the snow line and at one point the wind actually pushed us up hill!
tomorrow we aim to ride the col du lautaret and the Galibier. wish us luck
