French Alps 2005 Monday - Here we go again...!
Mon - Tue - Wed - Thu - Fri - Sat - Sun - Mon
Riding the Grosglockner Pass in Austria last summer had given us a taste for high places, so a plan was hatched to thoroughly overdose on mountain passes with a ride over the French Alps via the La Routes des Grandes Alpes. It's quite a ride over 14 mountain passes, starting in Thonon les Bains on the banks of lake Geneva to Menton on the French Coast 400 miles south, but first we had to get there...
La Route des Grandes Alpes!
The riders were:
We all met up at the Ferrybridge services at 2 O'clock Monday 20th June for the ride to Hull and the overnight P&O ferry to Zeebrugge. I'd booked the ferry earlier in the year for just £105 each return, not a bad deal.

We had an easy ride to Hull, around 50 miles, just before entering the Port we filled all the bikes up so as to be ready for good start in the morning. Queuing just in front of us was this French K1200LT with the nicest trailer I've seen, it was absolutely stuffed full!
Once the bikers are on board there's plenty of places to tie them down with the dirty blue rope kindly provided by P&O. Here, Patto's using a Motrax handlebar strap, quick and easy!

As usual we gorged ourselves at the buffet evening meal and after a few beers retired to bed, tomorrow was going to be a long day on the Autoroute .
