Les Lacets


Any cyclist who has driven through the Maurienne valley will know what I am talking about: a group of steeply rising switch backs on the North side of the valley, so close to eachother that there is no separation on maps.  These are the Lacets de Montvernier and I have been dying to ride them since the first time I saw them, which was ages ago.  today I was finally able to ride them, and with Mat and Hank!  Another thoroughly enjoyable ride up the lacets, over an obscure and beautiful col, then down to the Madeleine road, where we raced a friggin dump drunk down to the valley. Nuts!
