I remember that horrible crash. Terrifying. I hadn’t connected it up with where it occurred though. Thanks for enlightening me.
2 years agoStellar part of France. Didn't know about the tunnel through Le Chat. Good to know! Richie Porte had a terrible crash descending Le Chat in the 2017 TDF. It does have a fearsome reputation, with many saying it should have never been included in the race. Great shots. I'm sure you're both ready for an 'Anderson rest day.'

2 years agoWe were on the way from Chambery to Albertville, following a route selected for us by our tandem tour organizers. (No) thanks to some health issues we missed the first couple of riding days, taking the train instead. But that gave us a day to hang out in Grenoble and enjoy visiting the fortress there, before taking the train to Chambery and starting our actual riding experience from there.
2 years agoWe biked past their landing field too. If you passed them between Grenoble and Chambery I’ll bet it was the same spot. And I’ll bet you were smart and stayed on the Veloroute the whole way.
2 years agoWe saw literally dozens of paragliders on our tour along the Isere. At one point we even rode right past one of their landing areas- there must've been fifteen or twenty of them.

2 years agoIt really is amazing and it’s great to be in a place with so many options for bicycling that have separate paths for bicycles!
2 years agoYour pictures are stunning. Blue sky, white capped mountains, rushing river, sunshine, perfect bike paths, just lovely! Grenoble looks amazing. Wow so many places to see in France, what a trip you are having
2 years agoIt’s a phenomenal stretch of road. Every time you come to a clearing the perspective is just different enough to amaze you anew.
2 years agoNoix de Grenoble is the AOP name (protected origin, only nuts produced in a specific area can be so labelled) and you are in the area. In Canada, we use that name for walnuts in general, whether or not they are produced in one of the specified regions which, in a Canadian grocery, they probably weren't.
