Alpine White (Alpinweiß) is the color of the bike, and it certainly lives up to its name. The mountains were calling today, and she answered every step of the way—leaning deep into curves and surging on the fat of the torque. Pure motorcycle bliss.
Truth be told, inspired by the crisp mountain air this morning, I tweaked my route: Col de l'Échelle, Col du Lautaret, Col du Galibier, and Col du Télégraphe. Since we were at it, why not add a little extra topping with the Col de la Croix de Fer? I believe it was one of the few passes I hadn't done yet, and it was about time to discover it. The scenery is sublime, especially with the late-May snowpack.
The Col du Glandon? That wasn't on the itinerary, but like an idiot, I took a wrong turn and we ended up doing it as a quick round trip just for the hell of it.
To wrap things up in style, we set our sights on the mountains past the hideous Grenoble valley. The Chartreuse massif opened up to us, connecting us further north to Lake Bourget.
