I made the pilgrimage from Boston to Bourg d'Oisans. A week in the Alps will do wonders for your soul. Galibier, Glandon, Croix de Fer, Alpe d'Huez, Sarenne....it's so worth every penny.
After a long travel day I got to the hotel around 4pm, went out to dinner then to bed early. By 10am on my 1st full day I was on my way up Alpe d'Huez and then over the Sarenne. A 48 mile loop with 5800ft vertical.
Just over the top of the Sarenne I came across a sheep herd (pictured). Here's a video from the 14 mile decent back to Bourg d'Oisans. Hope you like. (GoPro Hero 3 with 'Chesty' mount)
