    Food and friends....and photos of food and friends. Awesome! Food, friends, and bikes--life is good. It's so cool that you and @Hubaxe met up for dinner and drinks. :) Had you two ever met each other in person prior to this? As @Bikerman said, it's things like this that make this a great forum. :heart: And, BTW, I happen to like that "plate" that your dinner is sitting on. ;):joy: Very creative.

    No we never met before. That forum can be positively powerful, that's right.
    Now about the plate. We have there a local meal called "tartiflette" Potatoes, onions, bacon, covered with a "reblochon" cheese.
    Just out from owen. No reason to ruin it transferring it in a plate :).
    And a bottle of local white wine "Chignin" from the Bergeron vineyard.

    Yesterday started off with what would be the last high pass of this trip. Going to make my way back to NL.
    Cormet de Roselend, 1.986 metres altitude.

    Then on towards Annecy, nice riding along the lake. From there I made my way to the Vosges, along very nice country roads.
    I found a "biker hotel", run by countrymen, so a nice evening was had.

    Today I first made a detour to the Col Grand Ballon. I was there last year, but the weather was awful then. So I wanted to make the most of todays good weather, and ride it in the dry this time.

    I'm staying at the Beim Hunn - from the Petry that's across the bridge and up toward the castle. Big advantage is they've got a locked garage for the bike, and an excellent cook!
