See you in the Half Century Challenge thread next year then?Definitely want to reach my goal of riding my first ever metric half century by the summer and then ride them regularly.
Stunning place to ride your bike - I would also reccomend riding round the balcony roads that go either way round from Alp D'Huez.Last week in June off to the French Alps. Eight of us going. Mixed group of abilities from 'GC contenders' through 'mountain domestiques' to the 'grupetto'.I'm firmly in the latter category btw. Based in Bourg d'Oisans so plenty of options. As a first timer I will obviously want to do Alpe d'Huez which is handy because we are staying pretty much at the bottom of it. Also looking at the Lauteret out and back,Les Deux Alpes and Col d'Ornon. Well aware there are other routes so may explore them at the expense of some of these more well known climbs. I don't climb so well so I'm swapping to a compact chainrings with 11-32 out back. Can't wait!
