School holidays is good. My son is off to Japan for 3 weeks, late july/early august so round then would be excellent. Early July is the Marmotte so that's out. It'll be fucking hot, so we'd best take swimming cossies

Aye - at least a week.

Piece of piss IMO......

thought i would hit you up with a photo assault from a road trip to the alps this summer just gone:
Ben by the astana bus at a petrol stop - didnt like our jokes about EPO stuffed in the luggage spaces.
-
drawing a cock on the police van that busted us for a 90 euro fine.
sleeping spot on our last night. nice. -
my overwhelming memory of the alps: diesel fumes - im going to the pyrenees this summer!
(don't get me wrong it was worth going to climb all the iconic mountains, but i wont go again, too many people, i have found the pyrenees to be much quieter and better riding IMHO.) -
and that one! -
What was the €90 for ? And is that last pic Galibier ?
-
yes Galibier.
and my mate ben driving about 500m sans seat belt. really petty tourist tax, we were doing about 5MPH! -
i would like to go there....
[/URL] Several of the Tour de France's more memorable moments have occurred on the Col d'Izoard, particularly the exploits of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fausto_Coppi"]Fausto Coppi, Bernard Thevenet and Louison Bobet. A small cycling museum is at the summit, along with a memorial to Coppi and Bobet. -
let's start ticking the fuckers off...

I drove down to Huez back in August for some epic rides.......only pity was I had my family with me so had to keep the ride time shortish. Did all I could though......they were all much 'easier' than I thought they'd be! Here the blog http://kipperonabikealptastic.blogspot.com/. Hire bike was about £120 for a full week. A triple. No I didnt use the granny gear.
Can't wait to get back and also go explore the Pyrennes.
