Trip to europe has another thought in mind!!

The trip to europe i was planning would see me go from Geneva Airport down to Grenoble and would see me climb the Alpe de Huez as my finishing point but now I have seen the perfect trip thanks to Geoff it's called the Grand traverse of the Alps this would see me climb some of the real monster's of the Tour De France including. I would start at Geneva airport, Thonon-les-Bains down to La clusaz, Beaufort and then into Bourg st Maurice then the climbs start coming thick and fast Col de I'Iseran and then the monster of a climb Col du Galibier then we head down into Briancon and the climb there is Col d'izoard then pass Guillestre and Jausiers Cine de la Bonnette and on the final leg Isola then Levens and finally into Nice and catch the plane back home. I suppose i have enough time to climb the Alpe De Huez but i really want to climb it though!!

If you want me to do this with you I would love to. Its one I have been looking at for a few years.
After this I want to take on the Pyrenee's probably the year after the the Dolomites.
I wont rest until I have done all the climbs of the TDF.
