Folks,

Thank you for visiting the site where we aim to provide regular updates on the progress of the Road to Milan cycle challenge

The Road to Milan – Day 03 – Oyonnax to Faverges

There was a buzz about the place this morning, as the team had recognised that over twelve thousand feet of climbing had been achieved so far, and with nearly seven thousand feet more over 75 miles, spirits were high. Whilst it was a tough day everyone was in a great mood including our potential tri-athletes.

Todays cycle was from Oyonnax to Faverges which is situated in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (south-east of France). A highlight of today was passing the stunning lake Annecy.
