The Final Lap

With today our last day in the Alps, and the need to do some shopping and packing, we restrained ourselves to a short ride to end the trip. We repeated the lap around Lac Verney, which includes the first km or so of the Col de la Croix de Fer. We were both wary after yesterday's exertions, but in the event, both felt better than we had feared. Even the climbs were fine.

L'Eglise d'Allemont and the War Memorial

This time, I managed to avoid missing the church and war memorial in Allemont, by dint of following Andrew, rather than my nose.

The Activity for this ride is available on Strava.

We were back in Le Clapier by lunchtime, having collected a series of PBs along the valley. A leisurely lunch in Bourg followed. Then we hung around for a bit for the news agent and gift shop to open, and I was finally able to acquire the tartiflette dish I've had my eye on for some time.

We went to Casino to buy lunch for tomorrow and the final, perishable comestibles, and then it was back to Le Clapier to pack. I'm going to miss this place.
