Legs still a bit tired after last weekends La Marmotte! R
eally glad to get the chance at the last minute to do it this year.
An epic cyclosportive over 174km with a 5,000m height gain.
Riding over the mountain passes of Col du Glandon (1,818m), Col du Télégraphe (1 570m),Col du Galibier (2,642m) and finishing
at Alpe-d’Huez (1,880m).
