Day 30 We woke to a glorious day, blue skies gentle breeze and the temperature in the 20s. Today we had only 187 km to travel on mostly fast roads, so we set off at 9:39am for a leisurely days ride. Once again I volunteered as "tail end charlie" as we had the whole group riding together. We left Chamoix riding West along the South East edge of Lake Thun towards Spiez. From Spiez we then headed west and crossed Jaunpass , 1509 meters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaun_Pa ss At the summit we stopped to take in the view and listen to the chorus of cow bells. Each cow had a different sized bell which meant that they all had their own distinctive sound. The parking lot at the viewing site had quite a steep incline, so I chose to park at the flatter entrance thus leaving the bike in a less precarious position. However, our tour guide decided that this was a good opportunity for a group shot with the bikes against the mountain background. The bikes were organised side by side down the slope of the car park and the riders stood beside each bike. The photo shoot with all the cameras was completed. The tour leader even decided that he needed some more hight to increase the perspective of the shot, so he climbed into a half full rubbish bin. All went well until it became time to move off. The bike at the top of the hill toppled from its stand and the three bikes below it, including mine, followed like skittles. Not a good end to a photo shoot. This reinforced my initial assessment that parking on the flat was the better option. After the decent from Jaun Pass we continued West to Bulle. We were now riding through meadow after meadow of grass with the occasional crop of corn or wheat. Farmers were active on their tractors cutting and raking the grass ready to bale. From Bulle we headed South to Chateau d' Oex then onto Le Sepey, Aigle and Martigny, before crossing the French border. Shortly before the border the grassed meadows gave way to vineyards stretching up the lower slopes of the mountains and the occasional wheat crop. A thermometer on a building in one village told me that it was 27 degrees and that it was getting warmer as we headed South. This warmth was also evident in the wheat crops. Previous crops we passed had still been a lush green. However, the crops in this area had ripened to a lovely tan colour and looked ready to harvest. We then crossed our last pass for the day Col du Montes stopping at the top to take in the majestic view of Monte Blanc, at 4810 meters the highest peak in the Alps. It was then onto the motorway for our final run to Chamonix. We dinned a short walk from our hotel and I enjoyed a bottle of Beaujolais shared with Gregory senior.
