2010 - French Alps Cycling Trip

French Alps - August 2010

In August my father and I ventured over to France & Switzerland to spend a week riding through many of cycling's famed regions and climbs before joining a professionally run tour (Thomson Bike Tours) for a supported ride from Geneva, Switzerland to Nice, France. To date this was the toughest of our father/son excursions and definitely one of the most fun as we got to experience many of the places we see on TV each July during the Tour de France. A summary of the trip's statistics and quick highlights is in the picture below (click to enlarge) followed by some pictures of us and the trip profile and map. If you're considering a similar cycling trip I highly recommend the Thomson group as they are serious about their cycling!
