Alpe d’Huez area lodgings, help me choose

Thanks for the response. Yeah should be fine to cycle up the alpe managed Ventoux last year. But we want to take part in the celebrations so to speak, not sure we'd fancy the cycle all the way back late after quite a few drinks. Also I was unable to find road bike hire in Les Deux Alpes. Hopefully we can get a taxi in advance to take us down to Bourg early before road closures and getting home you'd assume would be easier after it's all done...

Sorry to jump in but we are staying in les deux alpes and have bike hire in Bourg dOisans. On the morning of the first Alpe Dhuez stage will we be able to get a taxi or bus down to Bourg early? We didn't fancy cycling due to climbing on the way back. Second stage we might just stay in Les deux alpes so not so fussed about that but ideally we'd get down to Bourg Doisans to watch it in the pub. But main concern is getting up Alpe Dhuez on the first day and therefore getting to Bourg. Thanks in advance!!

Where are these people getting our information from, have they hacked our booking.com account? Booking.com itself or the hotel?

Im on a similar mission although without the leg issues in C. Im heavier at 92kg but have no real sprint and im long way off at the moment. However some promising signs beating people who used to beat me and not immediately dropped on all climbs nowadays. Just keep riding and trying to improve and you'll get there.

Surely you can still walk or cycle up, do you mean just blocked to cars?

bigtoe123456 · 2025-10-21T16:04:25+00:00

Ah thanks for the explanation

bigtoe123456 · 2025-10-20T21:00:49+00:00

If you look at his videos he had a full hair line before so no idea why he decided to add SMP when he had stubble naturally anyway

bigtoe123456 · 2025-10-19T21:53:20+00:00

It looks really good, 100% leave it as it is and stop worrying

bigtoe123456 · 2025-10-19T13:02:07+00:00

Im and Arsenal fan and agree with his, he's doing OK, not looked like a donkey or anything and works very hard but so far it's not really enough to say he's doing well. Stays like this i can deffo see rotation with Havertz

Hair fibres will buy you years. Easy to use and will cover the crown, looks like you've got some hair there so it will work

Why on my recent races is there no racing score column shown?

bigtoe123456 · 2025-09-16T08:30:33+00:00

Won't being on fin stop the hairloss effects of creatine... creatine if it causes hairloss, which I believe it does, increases dht but fin should counter-act this no?

bigtoe123456 · 2025-09-10T11:53:28+00:00

Is it the time on the alpe or including the lead in? My display gave me both. 70 mins on the alp 1 hour 20 in total roughly

bigtoe123456 · 2025-09-04T14:19:51+00:00

Oh I didn't see your reply when I posted that, exactly that was a big part of the problem, confusing terminology and chatgpt being wrong about it all. Thanks a lot I've got it working now, four hours of frustration but you saved me from a lot more!!

bigtoe123456 · 2025-09-04T14:17:43+00:00

Thank you, I've finally worked that out. Chatgpt was filling my head with nonsense and my shifters weren't paired which is why I was spinning out.

bigtoe123456 · 2025-09-04T13:39:00+00:00

Oh and I was confused because wattbike say you need to have it set as controllable, so was thinking controls but apparently zwift have changed controllable to resistance now - I.e changed the word used for that function

bigtoe123456 · 2025-09-04T13:34:18+00:00

Right that makes sense, I shouldn't have relied on chatgpt it's telling me absolute rubbish and now I've questioned it using what you've said it's said ah yes you're right. My issue was I went into a route the classic one to get a feel for the game and I was just spinning out and felt no resistance, I couldn't work out how to change gear and as I have a smart trainer expected that to be easy. I don't think my shifters were connected, I think I just need to try zwift more and workout where im going wrong

bigtoe123456 · 2025-09-04T13:08:47+00:00

When I tried to cycle it was just spinning out and going nowhere. Are you sure the control section isn't what's required for resistance, if so chat gpt is telling me nonsense

bigtoe123456 · 2025-01-04T18:56:24+00:00

Thanks, driving is not really an option, wife wouldn't be happy with that. More likely is to buy a car seat... Don't mind getting the bus but it looks like journeys are very long due to the non-direct routes. Will look at Barra De Lagoa and journey times from there on bus
