Autrans!


I made it! Total distance from Meylan -> Autrans is just a hair under 30 miles and about 3500ft of vertical climb from the river valley up to the Vercors. I hammered up the climb to St. Nizier (most of the vertical climb) much faster than last time. It's so much easier when you know the turns, how much farther it is. I now know why the pros spend so much time scouting out the stages of their races! I didn't have much left for the little climb from Lans-en-Vercors to Col de la Croix des Perrins.
Autrans is a cute little typical Alpine town. Lots of little hotels serving the local ski areas in the winter! I think it'll be a good first lunch stop or maybe basecamp for my June vacation.
