A local wall this afternoon

A not-so-local wall, this one part of the way up to Luz Ardiden, on a really hot summer day in early July.

Another bike, another wall - balcony road off the Alpe D'Huez

That's on my to-do list. I was going to ride it on 28th June this year, but when my tour group rode up to Alpe d'Huez, intending to continue up to Col de Sarenne then loop around via the balcony road after lunch, the weather was rainy and cold when we got up to Alpe d'Huez, so we just decided to check into the hotel up there, and take the rest of the afternoon off.

Did you ride up the balcony road, or down it? I was thinking the former might be better, since you can ride next to the wall and get a better view.

That day we turned right in La Garde and went up - it's absolutely fantastic. There is a similar road from Huez village towards Villard Reculas which is also fabulous. However, if you're in the area, imo the most spectacular is the D219 from Bourg d'Oisans to Villard Notre Dame on the opposite side of the valley. This road turns into a track but if it hasn't been raining it is passable on a road bike and will take you to Villard Reymond where the road is surface again. It's challenging and you will need lights as one of the tunnels takes a while to get through (length + gradient are not your friends here)

Gave KB its first ever clean in 30k plus miles today. All the parts are original apart from consumables and the rear wheel. I thought it scrubbed up well!
