Briançon
... were only about 3 km from the top. We thought we might get a good view and I figured I could make it 3 more kilometres. As we rounded the bend it climbed fairly steeply at 7% for about 2 km. I was definitely not in the riding shape that everyone else was but started huffing and puffing my way to the top. There were pine trees all around us except for the occasional glimpse of the, valley below. I was struggling to keep pedaling, but once in ...
Col d'Izoard
... towards Briançon. We were soon at a long stretch of flat road. There was a lot of traffic alongside us and a bit of a headwind so I was introduced to a technique used by road cyclicsts – staying in a pack and drafting.

I didn’t take into account that I was probably pushing a good twelve pounds or so more up the hill in terms of bike weight.
The climb to the ...
Col de l'Iseran
... no luck. At this point, I decided that they were way ahead of schedule and that I should just drive all the way to the top. Sure enough, there they were! They had stopped for a quick coffee and bathroom break in Bonneval, thought they saw the van parked there, but continued on anyhow without double checking. We decided that if they passed the van again on another ride that they should stick my windshield wiper up as a sign that they ...
