Romain, when an experienced mountain biker takes to the road

They-they crossed the Alps and they-they tell...

What motivated you to embark on a bike trip through the Alps?

I already had experience of a touring adventure, but on a mountain bike. This time I wanted to test myself over several days on a road bike and see some fantastic scenery...

Which route did you take and why?

The original route with the only variation being via the Col de la Bonnette. This itinerary did not allow us to do the Col de la Cayolle, Valberg and the Col de la Couillole.
