Woke up before the alarm at 04:30 having spent most of Sunday packing and unpacking, and checking train times. OK EasyJet flight but then a long wait at Geneva airport with a lot of other Flies for the hotel pickup.
Eventually made it to the Hotel de la Plage right on the lake near Evian. Bikes ready and waiting, so a quick 15 km spin along the shore road and back just in time to miss the rain.
News is that several of the northerly cols are still closed, including Galibier, which is a pity (though maybe tinged with relief). Still a pretty tough 130 km planned for the first day tomorrow, including the Col de la Columbieres towards the end, which ramps up to 12 per cent...
