Pre-season turns at Le Tour.  A velvet bed of hoar frost on the dark side contrasting with sastrugi wind buff on the other, golden late afternoon light and biting cold.le Tour-2 le Tour-3

Springtime – start of the road biking

We went for a tour in the Aiguille Rouge but had to bail from all options other than skiing down from the Col du Belvedere due to unstable snow. This left plenty of time to get out in the afternoon on my first bike ride in 6 months up to Col des Montets. Despite feeling very rusty it was a lot of fun to be out on the bike.2013-03-22 09.44.03 2013-03-22 15.54.42
