However I failed in my different targets as I solely had a handful of rides that didn’t start and finish at my dwelling. So I definitely failed at my aim of biking up 100 completely different cols. BUT, I should have no less than a 100 rides that included my native Col du Mont Sion. 🙂 Above the col are a number of unpaved routes up and throughout Mont Sion and I visited them usually in 2021:
