    Thank you Katie for an inside view of the Alpe. I crashed my road bike a month ago and have been banned from riding outside after collarbone surgery. The Dr. told me to start riding indoors the day after surgery. So Zwift it is! Zwift has been a lifesaver. Can’t wait to ride the Alpe on Zwift and on the actual Alpe. Thank you for joining with Zwift and for your positiveness. You’ve helped return me to health and keep me in shape in the most fun way possible!!

    Your words at 15 min, with the awesome backdrop into the valley had me nodding in agreement, wistful and a bit moist in the eyes. I have my own memories from riding across the Alps [in 1990]. We by-passed Alpe d'Huez, though.
    Super!!

    Great news, found a section in the Garmin ! "Critters" !
    Click on it, detects a bed bug sends out a ultrasonic noise, humans can't hear, drives bugs insane. Will flee ( flea ) the bed en masse.
    Maybe one for your "What's The Story Garmin Glory" inventory :)
    Couple of years time, Women's TDF will be virtually on a par with the men's !
    3 weeks long, but "Parade" onto the Champs Elysees, 2 rest days, days where the longish sprint days are rode, shall we say relaxed till the final km's !
    Great series of Alpine vlogs Katie, wonder if that young kid made it to the top of the Glandon in the rain !

    Hi Katie, By coincidence I listened to’Never strays Far’ podcast this afternoon. They were saying what a great TdF avec Zwift this was and discussing increasing the number of days racing. Think 10 days was mentioned, which I think would be great for the teams. Loved the video by the way, you meet in up with Lou and the series across the Alps. Thank you so much.

    The more women on bikes the better I say. Also the more women that feel comfortable riding with men also the better. Too many egos in men’s group, or there can be. Women seem to know how to make it fun more but can also be competitive at the same time which is perfect 👌🏻😊

    I stayed on switchback 6 on Alpe d huez and rode it almost 3 times in one day. Because I was on #6 I didn't want to do the last few switchbacks. It sounds impressive but I couldn't break an hr up the climb.

    @fiddleronthebike 2 місяці тому

    when I saw Demi Vollering ride across it touched me... again. What an experience to loose the Tour despite being by far the strongest rider in the peloton - only because her own team betrayed her! I grant Niewiadoma the win, she also is a great athlete - and she did nothing wrong; but that the SD Worx team abandoned her leader after the crash, even the very team mate who caused the crash, and didn't gave her ANY support to get back into the race - that was the worst display of sportsmanship and team spirit I have seen for many many years! ...tbh, if I had a say at the sponsor SD Worx, I would stop the sponsoring of this team because of the bad PR...
