Preview: Alps Training Week - 30 May

Next weekend we're off to the Alps for two long days of training in the mountains.

DAY 1 (Sat) - Morzine - Colombiere Loop - 148km - 3500m

The route includes a number of climbs. The longest and most famous is the Colombiere. A climb of 16.3km at an average gradient of 6.8%.



DAY 2 (Mon) - Route Roc D'Enfer - 107km - 2900m
After a rest day, we'll hit the full route of Devil Rock. It takes us down towards Lake Geneva, then back up over Col du Jambaz and Col du Ramaz before finishing with the hors category Col du Joux Plane. An 11.6km climb at 8.5% (been over this twice before and it hurts!!)
