By Will • Jul 1st, 2009 • Category: Cycling

With five climbs and some of the steepest stretches in the entire Tour, this stage (along with Ventoux) will be the toughest test of the race.

Doreen’s 1st Metric Century

By Will • Jun 20th, 2009 • Category: Cycling, Doreen

Doreen has cycled up Alpe d’Huez, Ventoux, Galibier, etc. But she had never, ever cycled a century. At least not until today.


Col de l’Iseran - South Side

By Will • Jun 18th, 2009 • Category: Climbs, Cycling

Let me go out on a limb and say this is my absolute favourite climb.


Col des Annes & Col de la Colombière

By Will • Jun 17th, 2009 • Category: Climbs, Cycling

Cyclo-tourists coming to the Alps understandably flock to the Route des Grandes Alpes to do the famous Tour de France climbs.

But there are countless lessor known climbs that are as beautiful, much quieter, and often very challenging.


Watching the Dauphiné: Col de la Croix de Fer via Col du Mollard

By Will • Jun 13th, 2009 • Category: Climbs, Cycling

Two cows and the actual Croix de Fer (Iron cross) over our shoulder.

A truly perfect day cycling.


Mont Ventoux - Watching the Dauphiné

By Will • Jun 12th, 2009 • Category: Climbs, Cycling

A fun day watching the Dauphiné Libéré near the top of Mont ventoux.
