TEAM READY TO TACKLE THE COL DU SABOT ON DAY 1
| Three days in the French Alpes is a gift. Fantastic weather with the sun shinning, 37 degrees Celsius and steep hills to tackle. On day one e faced the Col du Sabot on a 82 kms ride. An average of 9% gradient. Tough as they come. The second day we went to the bottom of Alpe D'Huez and did a time trial. I finished in 1 hour and 14 minutes. Better then the previous results. On the 3rd day we went for a wet 121 kms ride facing the climb from Sechilenne to La Frey, the rolling hills of the valley and the Col D'Ornon, a average 6% climb. Fantastic day. |
Três dias nos Alpes Franceses é um presente. O clima estava fantástico com o sol brilhando, 37 graus e ladeiras íngremes para enfrentar. No primeiro dia subimos o Col du Sabot em uma volta de 82 kms. O Sabot tem uma média de 9% de inclinação e é muito duro. No segundo dia fizemos um contra relógio do Alpe D'Huez e eu terminei em 1 hora e 14 minutos. Um resultado melhor que os anteriores. No terceiro dia fizemos uma volta de 121 kms na chuva. De Venosc fomos a Sechilenne e subimos até La Frey. Dalí passamos pelo valei até o Col D'Ornon. Um dia muito bom. |
