Lac Bourget is a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains, it is a dream for bike climbing lovers, it reminds me off the famous Garda lake in italy but with less traffic. Aix-Les-Bains is the largest town on it's shores and from here you can do climbs in the Jura Mountains as well as in the Bauges Mountains. Some famous climbs from TDF is just around the corner. There are bike lanes so traffic is not a real problem like it can be at Lake Garda.
This event is free, it is just a social ride for those who shows up, I have created 6 beautiful and tough routes, that we will follow.
On this event, we will climb Col du Grand Colombier which is featured as a finishing mountain in this years TDF. We will climb it from Culoz, the same route as the TDF, and we will also try the harder climb from Artemare.
We will also climb some of the other TDF mountains like Semnoz and Mont du Chat but we will try to enjoy the climbs and we hope we don't get crashes like the one Richie Porte had on Mont du Chat in 2017. When it comes to Mont Revard we will ride all the way to the top.
The routes we will follow, download them to your bike computer.
