10/28/14, Village loop, 10.5mi, 1c4, C2012

Early morning ride. Set a new PR for the 'Back of Mt. Tom' course, 6m7s, only 4 sec behind the 6m3s record-holder at the moment according to MMR.

10/17/14, Village loop, 10.1mi, 1c3, C1923*

Glorious fall morning. First ride since France, back on the Jamis, felt fine. Bought a pedal wrench and put the Shimanos back on. Harmony Hill Rd./Mt. Tom combination as tough a climb for its distance as anything we encountered in France.

10/11/14, Col de l'Aire Dei Masco, 34.8mi, 1c3, C1913

One of the most enjoyable rides ever, up to a 696m pass in the Luberon, and we avoided rain somehow.

Great way to end the biking portion of the week in France.

10/10/14, Northern Luberon-Ocher route, 33mi, 2c5 , C1878

Parked at the Pont Julien and followed the Ocher route. Some nice areas but felt more wearying to both of us than many of our other rides this week, perhaps because of the wind. Or many smaller climbs.

MMR didn't unpause after Rustrel so this is to Foster's: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/556306710

10/9/14, Cabriere-Pepin, 34.8mi, 1c4, 1c5, C1845

Late afternoon ride after driving back from Bourg d'Oisans. Started getting dark so we cut it kind of short. Back on the Cannondale.

10/8/14, Col de la Croix de Fer, 34.8mi, 1c1, 1c2, 1c5 (really an HC), C1819

Memorable but difficult climb up to this pass in Savoie, tougher than Alpe d'Huez, colder and windier too. Started with a long steep ascent for 6km, then maybe 1km of relatively flat, then a descent, then 10km of steep climbing and yet more climbing after that. Total ascent of 6233.77 ft and maximum elevation of 6,775.2 ft. My MMR didn't unpause after the Col so below is from Foster's.

After this we decided we'd had enough of the Alps for this trip and decided to head back to Ansouis.
