The grand plan to end all grand plans was to hire a car to transport us and our bikes and skis (that were waiting for us in Auch) over to the Alps. We ended up hiring a schnazzy little diesel Yaris for a week. We managed to squeeze all our shit in to the car after only about an hour of packing and then we were fanging it across France faster than we knew where we were heading.
We took a pretty scenic route which brought us to the top of some amazing cols – d’Izoard and Galibier. We also checked out a lot of the valleys where we would most likely spend the winter – Tarantaise, Chamonix etc.
We dumped most of our gear in Seez (downhill from Les Arcs) and finished the drive to Annecy to leave the car.
