Viva Le Tour de France: Col de la Madelaine

"C'est La Fête du Tour".... it's true, all over France this is the period where everybody feels the impulse to ride their road bike. The Tour the France is taking place now and they are approaching the Pyrenees and then the Alps.

 

Yesterday I went for a road bike trip, but i wanted to change the panorama, so I decided to head towards de Savoie. Lots of options there but because I've heard so much talking of this famous Col de la Madeleine, that I decided that I wanted to climb it myself.

 

It's hard.... very hard. :-) The Col is long as 26km, and since the beginning you have parts at 9%. "It's a niver ending Col" :-) The Col finishes ar 2000m so you a bit the altitude too.

 

But when you reach the summit, you completly forgot the 2h of 'pain' that you just went through!!!! The view is amazing!!!!!

 

 

You have to do it!!!!
