No clouds. This is bound to change.

Grenoble to lAlpe dHuez

Polly's bike was no delivered to geneva until 1:30, so we got a late train to Grenoble.  Did not atart  riding until 730.  Did you know that by 900, it is dark?  Beautiful riding in tha mountians in the dark  stars against the mountians, and finally a mostly full moon.  We arrived at almost midnight,   the hotel was not pleased.   Hotel Milan was very nice, at a good price.

Annecy

On the final climb into Annnecy, my saddle rails broke at the back.  Had to ride a few miles uphill with only the nose attached.  Stood up on the way down.  Bike shop at the bottom gave my a beater.   We made annecy and found a hotel on the main canal.  Beautiful town.   Found a nice shop and bought a good saddle.  Circling the lake now, stopped at an hotel that polly stayed at many years ago.
