Like I said, my adventure is already three months old. I live in a small city in the northern alps. I have two flatmates. I am signed up with Chambéry Cyclisme Competition but have yet to really start training again. The French talk all the time about coupure, repos, etc., so after riding all the mini-cols around Chambéry at least once I started doing other things.

Not long after I got here I got a taste of another kind of climbing. I was led by a real mountain goat. There he is up on the left. And here we are at the top of Mt. Aiguille--Yaco (a kayakiste), me, Antonin (mountain goat).
