The 2011 Aples Open Tour details are now online www.alpesopentour.com

I thoroughly enjoyed the event last year and would recommend it. The 2011 start is only 10 minutes from home - so I'll be doing the first stage at least!

    If anyone is interested I've put together a google calendar of organised road and mountain biking in the Haute Savoie and surrounding departments for 2011

    additions and upgrades most welcome. Please feel free to forward the link...

    Did seriously think about doing this but am doing a few days in the Vercor followed by La Marmotte instead.

    Shame they go the "wrong" way up the Galibier and Telegraph.

    They're doing the classic Telegraphe, Galibier, Alpe D'Huez route - the other way round is the easy way as the route from Bourg D'Oisans to the Galibier is long but not steep & then the Telegraphe is only about 3km.

    really can't see me doing to Passportes, the Morzine cyclosportive and the Marmotte on consecutive weekends, much though I'd like to....
