Cormet de Roselend France
in Bike Routes, Bikecation, Bikecation Locations, Blog Post, Cycle Tourism, European Bikecation Locations, European Cycling Routes, Fitness, Forest Centre, France Road Cycling, France Road Cycling, Health and Lifestyle, Lifestyle, Road Cycling RoutesSitting at an altitude of 1968m the Cormet de Roselend connects Beaufort(744m) in the Beaufortain valley in the west and Bourg-Saint-Maurice(840m) in the Tarentaise Valley to the east. The climb has a rich TDF history. It was first featured in the 1979 Tour de France and ten times since. In 2019 the climb was cut from the tour as a mudslide rendered the climb impassable. It returns in 2020 for stage 18 and just happens to follow our preferred route over the Cormet!

in Bikepacking, Blog Post, Bloggers, Health and Lifestyle, Lifestyle, Scott Cornish, Technical Accessories, Travel and Technical KitI used to be a bit of a philistine when it came to coffee, coffee was just coffee and instant tasted okay. That was until I started drinking freshly ground and freshly made coffee. What a revelation and how bad instant now tastes. Far from being any kind of connoisseur, but I can now appreciate the subtle undertones of flavours in different coffees, although this has created a bit of hole for myself, demanding good coffee wherever I travel, even bikepacking.
