Challenging Ride: Tour de Vuache (+ Pâtisserie Benoit of couse!)

Sadly, the désalpe in St. Cergue was cancelled this weekend. So instead of hanging out with the vaches, let's do a Tour de Vuache instead, where we can look at des Alpes.

The pace will be challenging. We welcome and encourage people to help set the pace at the front of the ride. The goal is to hold a strong pace, while keeping the group together. We can slow down or speed up as needed, based on the makeup of the group. **Please do not blow up the group by riding too fast at the front, not regrouping after climbs, and dropping people**

Please download the route to your cycling computer or phone. This helps you and the group.

Distance: 82km
Elevation gain: 1150m
Start time: 9:00am
Pace: Challenging (~22-24 kph in this case)
Coffee: Yes, bring EUR (in Vulbens)
Estimated return to start: ~1:45/2pm
Route: Strava, GPX File

RSVP to book your place; by doing so, you confirm agreement to our conditions of participation. And kindly cancel if you can't come to make room for others!

Helmets are mandatory. Bring snacks, water, and a flat repair kit. See the equipment list here. Also make sure in advance that your bike is in good working order.

Finally, please provide a contact person and telephone number in case of emergency (e.g. on your phone's lock screen or a post-it on the back of it).

NOTE: For challenging rides you should be able to keep the average pace, have ridden before in a group, and be both comfortable and safe when group riding.
