Col du Sabot

Went for a ride with Darren and Martin up the Col du Sabot: excellent! The pace at the start was a bit hot, but my compatriots soon settled on a more reasonable "allure", as they say in French. The top part of this big (1300 or so vert meters) is gorgeous! IT is also supposedly the highest col in the Isere, at 2100 or so meters. There was a strong wind battering us towards the top, but the views took our minds off of it. Some escaped Donkeys sauntered over the hill while we were eating. No sign of the riders. From the top, you can see Glandon, and all the way to the Mont Blanc.
