1st big ride of 2025

Living in the Alps has its ups and downs 😉
winter tends to be more about sliding than riding but last year we moved home to a village at the base of the valley, down here we find less black ice and low altitude snow has become a rarity over the years. last week I headed out on a quest for twisty back roads keeping below 1600m altitude and trying to remain on southern facing slopes.
mission accomplished, 300kms gained.
