Day 7: Friday, July 23
St Jean de Maurienne to La Clusaz
137 km, 85 mi, 11,000 ft vertical

On the Col de Tamié (2,975 ft / 907 m) someone had taken all the dashed lines and turned them into syringes.

This protest extended for the entire climb—over five miles. It proved quite imaginative and entertaining. Lots of references to EPO. Should have gotten more shots of this.

After climbing the Col du Marais (2,746 ft / 837 m), a rest at Serraval.

There’s a church and a fountain.

Marcy replenishes her water bottle.

Mark shoves off.

The final climb of the day, Col de la Croix Fry (4,813 ft / 1467 m), the same climb done on the very first day and it delivers everyone back at the starting point of the trip, the town of La Clusaz and the Hotel Christiana.
