    Ride Four is getting a bit tougher.
    The same distance and kms as the last two rides, but steeper, tougher climbs.
    You might want to have a 15-20min warm up on the flat road by the lake, because you’re straight into a Cat 1 climb.
    Same start from Talloire, but instead of turning off to Bluffy you head up the Col de Forclaz. The last 3km to the top are tough. Make sure you stop at the top and wander into the cafe to check out the view (you can’t see the best part of the view fro the road). This is where they launch the para-gliders from that you see out over over the lake.
    BE VERY CAREFUL on the descent off the Forclaz. There are a couple over very sharp corners that are slightly off camber and seem out of flow with the rest of the descent. The descent takes you to the Annecy cycle path which you’ll get onto for a short while. Turn off the path at Marlens and onto the Col de l'Epine.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
