After a last day of this in the forest it was time to go for a ride. Chamonix it is then. Fairly high up on this day. a couple of great riding days to Bardonecchia in Italy. Had a good attempt at the Col de Sommelier, got within 1k of the top. I did manage to drop my RP on the way back down though. Not much damage really, just a couple of bits of plastic. returned back to my lad’s house just outside Chamonix via the col de Madeleine. A great week with very hot weather and cold beers. These Tigers are pretty good at just about everything. Just a bit heavy to pick up on your own!!! Just back to Yorkshire today and lovely weather here too.
@Glenn2926: Great report, wonderful photos! I am glad that you weren't hurt at your "special experience".
Amazing vistas and trip, good to know the tiger was upto the task. one observation did your seat cover do its job?
It certainly was more comfortable than without on the longish 500-550 miles days. On all rides the air flow under me was noticeable. Especially on the 35°plus days.
@Glenn2926, I'm late to your thread...doing some forum catch-up today. I really enjoyed your photos! Sounds like some terrific riding. As others have said, I'm glad your Tiger--and you!--were OK despite the drop. I love your understatement about the altitude Col de L'Iseran. "Fairly high up". I had to convert meters to feet so I could envision its height. Wowzer...that's a mountain all right!
