I’ve been checking day and night for weeks now and they finally decided to put up the date for next year’s Tour du Mont Blanc ‘cyclo’ – July 13, 2024. I wasn’t really concerned about getting in before it sold out, but wanted to secure a hotel room in Les Saisies before it was too late and I needed to book on another mountain.
And don’t worry, Dear Reader, registrations aren’t open till ‘mid December’. You have time to have a good talk with your soul before deciding.
The Vicious Cycle

And I thought the Marmotte was a big day out. Like it says on the Tin, Heroic.
Right, it’s a whole other animal altogether, at least for mortals like us.
