Away for 3 weeks
-
In deference to my knees I have a compact crank and a 12-27. I'll be sitting in the 25 for the first part of the ascent on the Alpe then see how we go from there. I know - pretty soft but my aim is to crack the hour mark for the ascent which I reckon I've got about zero chance of doing ;)

Don't feel bad! You're going to go up the full 21 switchbacks, right? Most people couldn't even make up 1 or 2 of them, much less 21!

It's that time of the year. Tomorrow my bike and I are escaping to the tallest, twistiest, most painful vomit inducing mountains my sadistic mate in Australia can line up for us for 3 weeks of cycling in France. I will be out of contact for this time apart from phone, blackberry, laptop, email, and walkie-talkies. But apart from that I'll be completely isolated. I've got a ton of email backlogged I'm trying to get through and also a bunch of TODOs that I will try and get organised into something Elina, Dmitry, Thiru, Olga and Gennady can work through if they have a chance. Please don't break anything.

Man, that makes you a true island. Have fun Chris. :)

21 and all the way up to the heliport. Last year we did the Stelvio (48 switchbacks) and the Tre Cime (18% bits, plus the last 5km at 15%). I'm actually looking forward to some rides under 12% for once!

Yep, plus the always-fun-for-a-laugh Alpe D'Huez, Hautecamp, Tourmelet, and the Col du Whimper.

Have a great time Chris, I have to say I'm jealous. Haven't done this type of thing before and if I do I think I'd end up with a heart attack because of the shape I'm in. Meanwhile, paaaaaaaaaaaaartaaaaaaaay! :beer: :D
