Hopefully I am going to be in the Alpe D'Huez area in May. As well as cycling the iconic climb, I was going to use the village to cycle to Croix de Fer and Col du Glandon, probably on separate days lol
However, when I looked on Google Maps it said it would take 3:30hrs to get to Col du Glandon (28km) and if I wanted to start in the village and do Croix de Fer via Sarenne, it would take 4:45 to do the 36km just to get there.
I'm not quite sure how Google works this out but that does seem a bit excessive. I do know the climbs are a bit bumpy lol
Anyone got any real experience of cycling these routes and their times?
Thanks
