Mars Alps Tour

Spent the last week doing a tour with Mars through the Alps. Much of the route was the reverse of the 2006 tour so I saw a number of climbs from the other side (Joux Plane, Colombier, Aravis, Saisies). Also did some of the climbs from the Marmotte again (Telegraphe, Galibier) including climbing Alpe D'Huez for the umpteeneth time this year (though took opportunity to head back of village to bag the col Poutran).

Tour inlcuded some new climbs, we all did the Madeline and I branched off and did a few "extras" (Pteret, Pres, Roselend and Lachat). Of these the col du Pres from Beaumont was the best though I enjoyed all v much as nice to get away from the main road/popular climbs..
