A big ride

The etape preparations continue: Today I rode to the Fort St. Eynard, then Charmant Som, then the back side of la Charmette, and then Planfay. It used to be that any one of those would be hard, and riding them together would be unthinkable, so it is nice to see some progress. 85k, 2757 meters of climbing.
