AN ACE TIME: LE GRAND TRUC LOOP (French alps mountain biking)

This is my second / third little recon mission trying to scope out a bigger route that traverses the ridge from Jarrier to Alpe de Huez. It seems like it could be a pretty incredible long scenic loop if it can all be connected together, ideally without too much hike-a-bike-ing.

Spoiler: there was quite a lot of hike-a-bike-ing.

I’ll be heading back next week to do this route again but all the way to the glacier, and… beyond?? Oh you’ll have to subscribe to find out. You can also follow me on Strava below too.
