Recovery Day

Slug still here. Feeling hungover, Tuesday had to be a recovery day. We headed out from Grenoble to the Vercors region of gorges. Having spent a week in Grenoble in advance of our arrival, Squirrel had ridden these roads a few times so we turned to him for advice. He indicated that the flat road we had planned was not very scenic and he said another was better. When asked about the terrain because of Junk and my need to recover, he didn't indicate that there were any obstacles on the way. So after a run up of about 2km, imagine our surprise when we started climbing and climbing and climbing and climbing. 10 miles later (miles, not kilometers), after more switchbacks than Alpe d'Huez (though admittedly much tamer), we crested and headed to Villard de Lans, a beautiful Alpine village. At this point, I headed back to the car on a beautiful descent while Junk and Squirrel tackled the Grand Goulets loop, which was spectacular as advertised. Pictures (and video) will be posted next week.
