Climb to Gimel and on to Longirod

A beautiful sunny winter day had me out on the Route de Vignoble, to Vich, through Luins, Vinzel and up to Bursins. From Bursins it was up to Gilly, Tartegnin to catch the cantonal road up to Gimel. I passed the road leading to Signal d Bougy, which I went by on Monday. After the climb up the Gimel I continued the climb to Longirod (896 meters altitude). Then the dash down through Marchissy before climbing back up the Le Vaud and down through the valley leading to the climb back up the Le Muids. Then the final descent through Genolier, and Duillier before arriving at Nyon

Distance 40.5 kms
Time: 1h55 miniutes
Temperature: 6 decreasing to 4 degrees.
Highest point: Longirond 895 meters
Overall climb to Longirod 471 meters or 1554 feet (a lot more counting all the other ups and downs)
