Marmotte 2019 - 175kms, 4837M,

[@johnbradley1599]

Well done, excellent choice of music too. Your video has really captured the 'drama' of Marmotte. (I remember coming down the Glandon - riding like a scared cat at 80+ kph)

[@global_nomad.]

thats for putting together a great video - with fun comments too...doing the ride in 2022

[@leecau]

Good luck - its tough but a great ride. Remember to enjoy and smile at the amazing views no matter how much your suffering on the way up those climbs

[@global_nomad.]

@@leecau good advice...i'll try

[@richardconnell2716]

Im the poor bugger with hands on his knees at 4.25 at top of the Telegraph, man it was a tough day !! Thanks for posting video

[@electrichoarse]

I rode this Marmotte, 2019. Great video of it, thanks for posting and sharing. It was quite the day out and brings back some brutal and wonderful memories.

[@peterjkemp]

A great edit. Well done!

[@outtatrex]

Congrats, well done !!! I hope to ride this route myself this summer, this video gave a great impression. Thanks for sharing !

[@busog97641]

I can't believe that that all of that is done in one day... well done, you.

[@fishtail123]

nice. got this to look forward to this year :) although we've signed up for the Ultra.... eeeeck.

[@robdixon9]

good video brought back good memories. I rode it on my 1960's single speed, a tough day! 8h20m "ca fait mal" but not bad for a welshy

[@Velofil]

Well done mate!

[@davidlmills1]

Nice video Got my place booked for next july

[@narakdk]

Well done! Do you also have times for the downhill? I think that I can do the climbs, but I am very scared and have no technique going down, so I wonder if I can do it.

[@OneOfThoseGuys]

Just had a look on Strava - really only 2 big downhill sections - Glandon - 40km/h Avg / 58.3 max - 17:18mins over 11kms Galibier (I stopped a little bit into the descent to put a Gillet on to keep out the cold and a bit of food so 6min stop brings the average speed down) 33km/h avg 62.6km/h Max over 16kms - 24mins moving / 30mins total (so about 40km/h avg moving speed) I wasn't the quickest down and a lot of people slower than me. You are going to spend 90% of the time going uphill so I wouldn't worry too much about the downhill. Take it easy don't over brake, brake before the corners (not in them) it's a lot more fun than going uphill!

[@narakdk]

@@OneOfThoseGuys Thanks for reply and your times. That sounds like I can do it as well. So I should really consider it for next year : )

[@gamma_dablam]

Is there not a small cat 4 climb during the descent from the Lauteret ? Also, this route is mad! Well done for finishing this absolute beast !

[@OneOfThoseGuys]

Not sure if it’s a Cat 4 - there’s a little bump on the way down - but coming off Galibier it’s over 40km downhill (mostly) to the base of Alpe D’Huez, after going up Galibier any little bump is quickly forgotten - till you get punished on Alpe D’Huez ( and you had just started to enjoy yourself flying along for 40kms)

Hi, do you happen to have the GPX file for the La Marmotte? Thank you!

[@OneOfThoseGuys]

I do - send me a PM / email and if you still want it and I'll send you the details - although a lot has changed in the 5 months since you asked!
