Bit of a mad day here at Tour d’Oisans with 2 of our guests riding the full La Marmotte route, 3 guys riding the Col du Telegraphe and Col du Galibier and one guy just wanting to do the Col du Galibier. We managed to fit it in with a drive to the bottom of the Telegraphe in our minibus where we set 3 off. We then drove to the top of the Telegraphe where we let the last man off. I waited for them at the top of the Galibier where they all decided to descend back to Bourg d’Oisans. The two guys doing the full La Marmotte route finally arrived back after dark at 8:10 PM !

It might have been a mad day but the best day out on the bike this year. Can’t thank Phil and Helen enough for the their hospitality. Great value for money, friendly, helpful with the local knowledge, great accommodation and spot on location. We will be returning with a plan to do the Marmotte…. that will be a mad day out.
