Blog EntryTuesday night ride with a differenceFeb 13, '07 5:50 PM
for everyone

So did you enjoy your Tuesday night ride then, I did even though it was pretty tough. I went up Alp dhuez in France (well in my garage really). It was pretty cool to see this handywork done by BigRing a few years back when we went to watch the tour is still actually on the road in the video. How bizarre is that, laughing on a turbo is a new experience too.

More pics from our trip to the Alps way back are here

This Imagic cycling is pretty good when its shitty outside, but I still cant wait for my first proper outdoor ride this year, maybe at the weekend.  I tried to give an idea of what it looks like, have a look in the video section.

Fancy a custom Ti-Frame[Setavento_Frames_UK]

Go on then, what was your time on the mountain? I took the Marin up there 6 years ago in 1:17. Think I will be having another crack at that this summer when we go to die at MegAvalanche!

It was 1.13 but that was with a bit of road before it in Bourg as a warm up. Its not that authentic as you could deffo do it faster on the simulation than in real life.
Most of the way up I was doing 8mph, and passed about 10 riders they caught on camera, bet that would be impossible for us mortals in real life.

Got the Rockies video, thanks Rich.

I was laughing too much at Steve to try riding it - I thought he was going to slide down on his arse.
