SUNDAY moderate-level ride: Viuz-en-Sallaz - Col de Saxel

A SUNDAY ride this week, to avoid the Saturday threat of rain. We will cycle up a twisty road with nice views in Ville-en-Sallaz, through some wooded areas, via Bogève and Boëge, and eventually tackle Col de Saxel from the southern (other-than-usual) side - with a fun descent.

The pace will be moderate. Please download the route to your cycling computer or phone; this helps you and the group.
