Myself, Stef & Jon Sunderland headed for the Therfield 'M' route of Alpine hills. Two circuits of the 'M', then onto The Weston 'Pyrenees'. 50 miles in total, lots of up & down, back by 12, a good training ride.
4376 feet of climbing according to the garmin. so thats the tourmalet done (4138 feet), just need to squeeze in a couple of mountains before breakfast and we're done for the etape... good ride
Chaps - i did a similar route later in the day when the sun was shining. After tackling Royston heath twice and Coombe Rd once i came to the conclusion that the fantastic northerly tail wind was blowing me up the road and there was better training to be had riding into the wind on the flat!
11 days to go until La Marmotte so that must be 25 days for Les Blues etapers!
