Nick's biking blog

It's all gone a bit alpine. Made it over the Col d'Herbouilly (a cross country skiing area in winter) to Villard-de-Lans, then a nice big drop to Grenoble. Fab views. The descent to the city felt like being blasted by a hair dryer, the air was so hot down there. Sweated along busy roads north and escaped to countryside again. At Charavines (camping Les Platanes) on the Lac de Paladru, which reminds me of Coniston.
