It was a beautiful sunny winters day on sunday with the temperature just nudging above 4 degrees, so I decided to tackle Alpe d’Huez for the 41st consecutive month. Alpe d’Huez had a lot of snow recently but it has only reached down to bend 8 of the famous 21 bends.

I took these photos at the finish line.

The next big climb I will be doing is the Pico de Veleta in Andalucia at the begining of January (2600 metres)
