Post Second To Last

Today, we beat the odds. Despite the forecast of heavy rain, Jonathan saw a window and we took full advantage. Heading out at 9:30, we had great cycling conditions for a few hours. We did the Col de Lechaux followed by the Col de du la Something or Other, and made it back to the hotel just before the skies opened up. It was an easy day in the Alps; 37 miles and 3,700 ft of climbing. It was just meant to be!

After cleaning-up, we headed into Annecy for a long French lunch during which it just poured. As we watched the rain, we all wished we could bring just some of it back with us. Even while in France, we have been watching the fires back home. After lunch it was shopping, relaxing, massages, emails, and unfortunately, packing. 

Tomorrow the departures begin. Some of us are going to Geneva for a day and then home, some staying here for more great cycling, and a lucky one going on the Greece.

Tomorrow or Thursday, I’ll do the final posts for the blog. But for now, it’s bed time!
