Based in Bourg d'Oisans - effectively the capital of cycling (near Grenoble), Matt and I had planned some pretty serious
activities involving road cycling over the 'mythical Cols' of the Tour de France : Col du Glandon, Col de la Croix de
Fer, Col du Telegraphe, Col du Lautaret, the incomparable l'Alpe d'Huez and the biggie : the Col du Galibier at
2640 metres. The week also involved some snowboarding and mountain biking......pretty much perfect really. It was June....the
sun was shining and the car was loaded with bikes and boards....strap me in !
