France Italy France

Lanslevillard, Rhône-Alpes, France
Friday, July 6, 2012

The title should have been France Italy France Italy Switzerland, but a landslide has kept me in France for one more day. So here I am stuck in a ski village with a hundred other motorcyclists - with all the hotels pleased as punch - I think there may be some conspiracy happening.

The pass is also closed on Sunday because of some bicycle race - so tomorrow is gonna be a sprint for the mountain - Henry and 500 motorcycles.

Today was yet another day with stunning weather and stunning roads and magnificent mountains. Are you all getting bored with my story yet? I hope not because the really good stuff it yet to come.

I'm not yet bored with riding every day - seems the more I do it, the more I want it... like some sort of addiction. I'm still getting those Wow moments - had a few today with Mont Cenis and expect more tomorrow with Mont Blanc.

Enjoy the mountain photos.
