The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is one of the great motorcycle roads in the Austrian Alps, climbing to 2,571 metres at the Edelweiss Spitze viewpoint. As we climbed higher, the scenery became utterly breathtaking. This is exactly the sort of road you come to the Alps to ride. Huge mountain landscapes, sweeping bends and spectacular views at every turn. And with the morning sun shining, the conditions couldn't have been much better.

“This is What Biking Is All About” At one point, someone commented over the bike-to-bike comms: “If anyone asks why, this is what biking is all about.” I've been grinning from ear to ear since then.

369km France and Italy. RIDE SALLY, RIDE! Our stop in Sisteron was in the city centre. Lovely hotel with a locked garage but it was warm!...
