Day 4 - Bourg D'Oisan to Briancon

Sorry all. It's been a long day if only a short ride. We only managed about 60km but still cleared 2,500m of climbing.

We have not missed a col but have had to quickly bail off the Col de la Lauteret due to the weather.

If you have ever been in a lightning storm at 3000m then you would understand.

I do have photos from each and every sign counting down the 21 hairpins of L'Alpe D'Huez but due to Internet connection it will have to wait to tomorrow.

So 3 cs down today and I think we may have a few more tomorrow.

All getting a little repetitive :-)

(I will admit it is starting to hurt a little now...)
