France - Italy - France, and three cols...

[briantrumpet]

I'm planning on doing this day route from Jausiers in a couple of weeks: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/15161991, including col de la Bonette (2,715m). I think it should be just about manageable, and rather spectacular. Anyone else done it, or any of the cols?:

If you're doing the Bonette you'll probably want to do the extra bit round the Cime de la Bonette (2802m), it's quite steep when the air's getting a bit thinner but the rest of the climb is pretty easy, albeit long.

Thanks - noted. Depends how the legs & lungs feel after 80 miles and 4000m of climbing...
