Turbo Club - Meet Ups / Events

The Alp is one of the easier climbs. Croix de fer, Glandon, Telegraphe/Galibier are the monsters. Then there are some much less publicised climbs which I have been told averaged 10% for 15k hidden away. That booklet I posted, I believe has them listed.

Oy! Spoilsport Some of us have done the Tormalet don't ya know

Didn’t look that easy going from your stats

Seriously though. We’ll be doing a few other climbs too no doubt. But because some of us have done d’huez dozens of times on Bkool, and also because of its iconic nature. That is what we’re building the trip around. It’s very possible we’re heading back to the alps next summer so we’ll get another bite of the cherry then and possibly some more interesting climbs.

Don't get me wrong, The Alp, it's iconic, just not as bad compared to some others. Also from the guys who have been a few times before there are some much prettier climbs and views

Add the balcony ride and Col du Solude to your list. Awesome.

 

[Aleman]

Don't forget the Lacets de Montvernier and the col du Chaussy

I think @keithaitch is going next week. Also @Add is going there. At this rate it will be just a few of us with only Bkool times.

Another trip Randy

Yeah. I could do your 104 mile 12000 foot ride if I can get 3 weeks to do it. Are there places to stay along the route?

 

[CXRAndy]

France is superb for cycling far better than the UK loads of quiet roads, cycling paths

 

[kipster]

The chalet is in d'huez so every ride means we've got to come back up it, or thinking about in more of a cycling way, every ride is a summit finish
