Granfondo Vosges

Registered yeas ago for this event, and finally after those covid postponements I got to ride the Granfondo Vosges. 

Lots of bumpy roads, often narrow at times but there were nice sections on this testing course in the Vosges. Start and finish was the ski resort of La Bresse hohneck.

 Many riders clearly here with the aim of qualifying for the UCI world tour. To do that, you must finish in the top 20 % of your age group. I finished at 36%, and to be top 20% I would have to have knocked 30 minutes off my total time. That was not possible today! 

Very tired on the penultimate climb of the col de Grosse Pierre, but so was everyone it seemed by that stage. 

460th overall.  6hr 30min 48s    27.33km/h    M45 46/126
