With the tour starting to heat up, I'm sure I'm not the only one of here that will shortly be heading to the Alps...
Off to Huez on Thur evening for 10 days! - can't wait!

Who else is heading over?

Not the Alps, but I am heading off for three weeks around Girona and the Pyrenees next week. Can't wait.

Not until August but heading over to do Stelvio and the Italian climbs, did the main French ones last year and loved it.

Me, I'm going with you Rolls! On the Road Bikes. Stopping off for 2 days in Morzine, may wish we hand MTB's but I think the Mutzig will blur that thought. 7 Days (very near) Bourg D'Osians, touring watching and Alpe riding. One day in Aix Les bains, riding and drinking.

G.

P.S. Birdthom, lynus2004, be good to see some pics of your trips.

Hull to Zeebrugge on Friday night with my 16yr old son and then driving to Les Menuires on Saturday with the road bikes on the roof.

Some riding on the mountain roads (training for him), probably hire a couple of mountain bikes for a day or 2 and then going to watch the last 2 mountain stages on Friday and Saturday before heading back to the UK on Sunday.

I haven't been this excited about a trip for a long time - can't wait!!

I'm off - can't flippin' wait. Boat to St Malo on Saturday - get to Bourg d'Oisans on Sunday 14th. Staying there for two weeks to watch the Tour (and riding of course!) Staying in a chalet in Camping Cascade - literally 50m or so from the first ramp up Alpe d'huez. Counting the hours! smile

Afraid I haven't got one frown but if I see any PH Jerseys I'll give a shout. Just look out for an old fart on a Planet X!
