Painful fun. 174 kilometres, 5000 metres ascent (+16000 feet), over 3 of the most famous climbs in France.
A challenging cyclosportive including the “famous” way up Mont Ventoux.
One of the best base locations for cycling big and famous Tour de France climbs.
“Bosses” means bumps. And this course certainly had a lot of hills.
Today I saw more waterfalls, glaciers, hairpins, and tunnels than I have ever seen in a single day.
Sunday, Martin and I successfully completed the Maratona dles Dolomites.
Epic.
Today, Barry, Martin, Fabian Cancellara and I rode the Gruyère Cycling Tour.
Along with “L’Etape du Tour” – it is probably the most famous – and one of the the most challenging – Cyclosportive in France.
174 kilometres (108 miles) and 5,000 metres vertical ascent (16,400 feet)!
My fourth cyclosportive this June (versus only three the previous 42 years).
