Cycling the Col de Saisies from the D925 (1657m)

Back in early September, when we first rode up the Col de Saisies from the north at Flumet, it was our second climb of the day and made all the much harder for it. This time around, however, we were feeling well rested and fresh to tackle this 15.2km, 6.3% average ascent from the D925, just down the road from Villard-sur-Doron. With the sun shining, the air much warmer than in recent days and surprisingly good views of the Mont Blanc Massif on the way up, it turned out to be one of the most fun rides I'd had in a while.
