Just a gentle evening ride today, to a quiet beach area, now that the daytrippers have gone home

The road up to Villard notre dame

Usually the coldest place on earth in my experience!![]()
Darkest place on earth
it was welcome as it's been 30+. What got me was you could feel the cold coming out before you went in. Scarey.Usually the coldest place on earth in my experience!
with the ones in Sweden and Norway we actually had to put extra clothes on before going into them. It was silly because we were standing there in +25C (sometimes close to the 30C mark), struggling with sunburn and the likes and having to put 2 or 3 layers on including waterproof trousers just to stay warm enough to move in these tunnels! They are surprisingly dangerous and we were told that it was not uncommon for cyclists to have to be rescued from them suffering from hypothermia! I can well believe it, but yes, that draft from them just before you get into them is scarey. like they are breathing out and saying don't come in here!it was welcome as it's been 30+. What got me was you could feel the cold coming out before you went in. Scarey.
