Mountain Bike Holidays in the French Alps with Ride Oisans

Day 5 started with a bit of a road climb up to the mythical trail of Oulles with its mythical 84 switchback back down to Bourg d’Oisans. We all struggled down the trail which drops off a very steep wooded mountainside. When you look back at the end of the descent you can not quite believe that there is a path down the mountainside. After a quick lunch stop back at our base in Bourg d’Oisans the guys asked if they could do some of the trails (that we did on tuesday) from Alpe d’Huez to Villard Reculas and then down to Bourg d’Oisans  again. We were happy to oblige and after loading our bikes on the local bus service we were on our way for an excellent afternoon of over 1000m of vertical descending on very dusty trails.
