2013 Trip equal to or better than 9 hills

[Guest EPCC]

After the nine hills we were all asking what could we do to better it

I think I have found the answer in this little beauty

Type in Haute Route and feast your eyes over it

Yes expensive but what a trip

How about this to top Billy's craziness!

 

Fly to Provence for some great scenery and nice rides and try and join the

 

'Club des Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux'

 

which is 3 ascents up Mont Ventoux from Bedoin, Malaucene and Sault in a 24hr period.

 

Easy

 

Quote:

On paper the membership route looks tough. It’s not the 136 kilometres that’s the problem – it’s the fact that half of this is climbing. The classic route from Bedoin is 21 kilometres at an average of 7.5%, from Malaucene the same, and the third ascent is 26 kilometres at a merciful 4.7%. Mont Ventoux is 1,912 metres at its summit and the vertical distance for each route is 1,610m, 1,570m and 1,220m respectively for a total of 4,400 metres of climbing over 68 kilometres. This year’s Etape du Tour was only 2,612 metres over 39 kilometres. Cinglé in French means ‘crazy’ and has the synonym fou, ‘mad’. The Club des Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux is literally a club for mad crazies
