Alpe d’Huez and Vaujany cycle ride in January

This week with good (if very cold) weather I have got three bike rides in, as well as a load of skiing in Alpe d’Huez. On Tuesday I cycled up the 21 bends of Alpe d’Huez – this is now my 19th consecutive month that I have cycled it at least once. On thursday I did a couple of hours skiing before retreating to the Alpe d’Huez gym for an hour of interval training on the stationary bikes - a little boring but neccassary as i start to gentle ease back into training for our first proper cyling guest in mid April. Saturday I cycled the south facing climb up to the ski resort of Vaujany where I meant the family for a swim in the fantastic pool.
