You will see the route for the col de l’arpettaz heading north easterly, with a green line and twenty something switchbacks. At the top, where col de l’arpettaz is marked, blow up the map again till the route de la soif connection shows up. This goes all the way across and hits the D909 just south of the col de l’aravis. Maybe one of these days I might be fit enough and have enough time to do more than just look at it from the arpettaz. Thanks for the reminder and the memories, Hank! Inspiring as always.

Just let me know when you're ready, we'll do it, two Eriksen stonerbikes on the GT! Perfect. If by chance you're ever on Facebook, there's a group there called gravel bike france. Lots and lots of very interesting rides, mostly just photos of them, seems to be more members of that group in the west and south, some in the massif centrale, lots of vineyard rides. Good stuff. Check it out if you can. Cheers
