BCS Moderate - EARLY - Col de Joux Plane

A smaller group ride up the Col de Joux Plane and down to Thonon. We will take the 0631 train from Cornavin to reach Cluses at 0752 (you can join at any station along the way). From there a short climb over to Chatillon-sur-Cluses where we join the route that the Tour de France Femme followed a couple of weeks ago! After reaching the top of the col and descending to Morzine we will coast down the gently sloped valley 30km to Thonon where you can take the train back to Geneva/Annemasse or continue along the lakeside back to town.

NOTE: we will meet on the platform at Cornavin not at the bike shop!
