Cycling Alpe d’Huez in February

With some loverly early spring weather and the temperature in Bourg d’Oisans at 3 degrees I cycled the 21 bends of Alpe d’Huez. Alpe d’Huez itself was bathed in sunshine with a temperature of 9 degrees. After dropping the bike off with Helen at the minbus I swapped into my skiing gear and managed a couple of hours of skiing before the 75 minute ride up started to take its effects on my legs !
