Epic Camp Min France Day #3
Trail run ~1hr50mins - Val d’sere to Tignes
Bike 105km Val d’Isere to Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne over the Col d’Iseran
It’s not all biking on this camp. A few of us did a spectacular trail run from Val d’Isere to or towards Tignes.
After a big breakfast it was out the door and straight into a 15km climb over the massive Col d’Iseran (2770m elevation). The air was certainly thinner at the top.
The “Visma Lease a bike" team were out doing the same climb - fair to say they were a bit quicker than us (but we were mostly taking it easy.
A long amazing descent then some roasting temps down in the valleys to finish off a tough day.
