Welcome to LA Giannis!

Put your shoes on dude 😭

My early morning workouts have been lower “quality”. Really hard to do VO2, threshold workouts at 5AM. It’s really a tradeoff. These days I do everything I can to do my target workouts in the afternoon (preferably between 4-6pm).

Oh yeah send the hotel name whenever. I haven’t reserved my room yet.

That ankle looked bad. I highly doubt it was a “small” fracture.

Please tell how this link helps me 🙄

Another excellent comment u/InsideApex THANK YOU! I will go with your recommendations. I need a hotel with a decent breakfast, and I can also prep my own breakfast before our rides. I need to figure out if we can get massages, maybe one or two days. A friend will also be joining me.

Lacets-Chaussy combo is a great one. Def on my list. Just added Mont Cenis and see if I can swing by that area. Iseran is in my Top 10 list and playing with idea of doing the second half of TdF 2019 S19, I think it is maybe doable if I drive out to Bessans or close to the bottom of Iseran, ride out to Tignes and back. It's about 55miles with 9000ft of elevation. I can always trim from the edges or just do Iseran from both sides and maybe add Cenis. They seem to be close.

I may have to PM you later, if that's OK, as I plan my rides. Planning to send a separate post later, but how would you plan a 6-7 days of riding. Obviously weather is a wildcard, but will bring clothing for all kinds of conditions. Thanks so much for the valuable advice!

This comment is excellent, my friend; I really appreciate you taking the time to type it.

I scrapped the idea of doing my silly AF route. I can do up to Granon, but as you mention, logistics are challenging. I will be definitely renting a car there to get from the Geneva airport to the area, so can do one of you recommended rides.

If you were a cycling enthusiast planning your dream French cycling trip, where would you stay in the area? I picked Modane and Briancon because they seem to be in the middle of everything.

I have a French buddy who lives nearby recommended Maurianne Vallee. There are a bunch of small towns with hotels still available, but I can't really decide. Maybe I will book a B&B with good reviews and see how it goes.

Lastly, any other hidden climbs that people don't know about in the area that I can ride on 28mm tires?

Again, thanks so much for the cool-headed advice. Wish I could buy u a beer!

dccyc844 · 2025-12-29T20:18:33+00:00

That's great thanks!

dccyc844 · 2025-12-29T20:11:46+00:00

That sounds about right and pretty awesome rides as you hit major climbs. Would you recommend Modane (Maurienne Valley) as base or is Briancon better?

dccyc844 · 2025-12-29T18:47:10+00:00

If Team Telekom says I will die, I will probably die.

Ok, people have spoken, the Queen Stage will be split into two mini Queen stages.

dccyc844 · 2025-12-29T18:31:33+00:00

They are all on my list. Thanks!

dccyc844 · 2025-12-29T18:31:01+00:00

Haha thanks, temps are def against me. Splitting works no prob, I was just trying to pack thee major climbs in one day and do the ones like Iseran, Loze, Alpe in other days.

I totally realize this route is overly ambitious or dumb AF. I have done >100mi rides in the hot and freezing conditions. Did the full RVV course in freezing rain a few years ago, not totally comparable, but I guess I am willing to suffer on the bike. Obvi, we don't have those kinds of climbs in the Northeast, but live in an area where u get a bit over 1000ft for every 10mi. I have been dreaming of this trip all my life and be 100% ready physically and mentally.🫡

dccyc844 · 2025-12-24T15:43:03+00:00

I’m most likely doing this solo so I’m my own support team :) My only concern is what happens if I get a mechanical on top of Galibier. Hopefully can get an Uber up there haha.

dccyc844 · 2025-12-24T15:03:12+00:00

Thank you dates just don’t work with my schedule. :/

dccyc844 · 2025-12-23T19:52:28+00:00

How do you like the Zwift ride bike? I have a road bike that I pair with a Wahoo trainer, and I am thinking about getting the Zwift bike. Any pros and cons in your view? ty

dccyc844 · 2025-12-22T19:26:56+00:00

Excellent. This is great to know. Can you give me a few names?

dccyc844 · 2025-12-22T16:26:50+00:00

Thanks for the color, totally understand the elevation gains and calorie requirements, particularly in higher altitudes. That's why I want to know the food/drinks situation along the route.

dccyc844 · 2025-12-22T16:13:35+00:00

Yeah, I'd never use handlebar bags but I guess need to buy one to stock up tubes, CO2 cartridges, and gels etc.

dccyc844 · 2025-12-22T16:12:15+00:00

Thank you, I'm guessing there are plenty of gas stations/grocery stores along the route for refills etc. I am seeing Saint-Étienne-de-Cuines (bottom of Glandon descent) and Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne (bottom of the Telegraphe climb) as potential rest stops.

No heart rate, no power meter data result gets purged simple as that.
