This is a superb introduction to Alpine road riding, two great routes on generally quiet roads and give a slightly more chilled out French sportive experience than the Marmotte in the Southern Alps, and for those of you tackling the Marmotte or the Etape (or both!) this offers some great training.
The 160km route crams a number of cols in before the final ascent up the legendary Joux Plane and the long descent back down to Morzine. If that's a bit much for this time of year the shorter 110km route offers the same stunning scenery but at less cost to the legs!

I have a Marin Nicasio 2 that I bought to use as a commute bike along "smooth" gravel paths, some dodgy roads and some great roads. Running 32mm...
Well that me laugh, a lot.......!...
Yes, but why spoil a good pun?
That's a great tip. I also have a set of the Ortleib packing cubes which are specifically made for these panniers and they work fantastically for...
