BCS Relaxed Climbing - La Valserine

"Relaxed" effort ride but with double the usual climbing.
The Valserine valley is several degrees cooler than the Leman basin. It offers quiet roads and beautiful scenery. The route includes the exciting 700m descent from Col de la Faucille.

📅 Date: Saturday 16 August
🕡 Start time: 09:30 direct train from Cornavin to Bellegarde train station. Or
🕡 Start time: 09:57 from Bellegarde train station. I'll wait for you here.
🔁 Distance: 74 km
⛰ Elevation gain: 1'300m
🐇 Pace: Normally, relaxed would be around 21 km/h average = 25km/h on the flat. However, with double the climbing, I'm guessing our pace will drop to around 17 km/h average
🕘 Estimated return to Bike Switzerland: 16:00
☕ Coffee? And a sandwich lunch from the bakery in Lelex (EUR).
