Chapeaux! I was there this year as well - brutal brutal ride but the feeling when I finished was amazing. Worst for me was the Telegraph believe it or not - that's where I was most likely to throw in the towel - by the time I was on Galibier I was just determined to push on! Same with the last push up ADH...... had to finish! Well done again and a great video.
@simonworsley8631 Жыл бұрын
I agree, the Telegraphe is always the worst climb of the 4 on Marmotte day. Always hot, deceptively steep, a long way from the finish and hard to get a rhythm again after the flat section

Great video, congratulations on completing the ride. In years to come this will give you such great memories. If you like Gran Fondo events, I’d strongly encourage you to come to Australia and take on Peaks Challenge. It’s a 235km ride with over 4000+ metres of climbing. This years (2024) event was held in 42 degrees Celsius (107f), where’s the previous years had showers and small hail. Truly one of the world’s toughest events. Plenty of videos online of this years Peak Challenge 👍

Thanks for sharing your Marmotte experience! Congrats on completing it. Somehow YT just surfaced this video of yours so it’s probably a bit late. I appreciate this video a lot because it brought back memories from my experience completing it back in 2013. Especially so because I’m also from SG and thoughts that you shared resonated with me heaps. Hope you get to do it again (this year?) and maybe invite your subscribers from this channel to join you! I think it’ll be a totally different experience! 😂

I just went bikepacking the French alps in july. These places have to cycle slowly and enjoy the scenery. I went up places like Col de Vars, D'Izoard and de Sarenne which is not far from d'huez. Stayed a couple of hours at each point to fully soak in the views. Really beautiful. And the climb is no joke. I really feel you as I suffered as much. But reaching the top always felt an achievement. Congrats!

Congrats on the ride and great video! Not sure if you did this off-camera but on a tubeless puncture I usually put the puncture at the bottom against the pavement. In my experience it helps seal better than if the puncture is facing up. Been running road tubeless for over 5 years and I've had several punctures but almost all sealed, only one time did I put a tube in and that was also to cut down the waiting time. Looking forward to the next video!

I did, still didn’t work. Gash was quite big and I didn’t want to risk missing the cut off, so in the tube went
