Jenny, that was absolute superb! I feel quite honoured that the recommendation made such an impact. Brought back many happy memories. Cheers. Dave (Directeur Sportif)💪👍
@@jennycycles I'll soon be in France but on my fully loaded touring bike, and north of there but it looks like a climb for my road bike on another trip.
I have not done this one. Very much on my "to do" list next time i am there. Trouble is so much to ride - Did the Pyrenees this year and they are simply amazing! I will have to go back there again. My next Alps trip is to BSM for climbs like Petit Bernard and La Plagne.
@@jennycycles - certainly does. Pyrenees are amazing. Less imposing but proper scenic. I can recommend Pyrenees Cycling Lodge as accommodation if you want to explore that area.
Yes I been to the alps twice before but never got around to doing it so made a point of doing it this time , we did croix de fer first so was especially brutal and was 1 deg with sleet on top. 😂 saying all that really enjoyed it , preferred the climb to the descent anyway 😂😂
Ahhh yes!! We have done it. I loved it. When we stay in Alp D’Huez we always look over to it so I said we had to cycle it. The tunnels never had lights when we cycled it. Love Villard Notre Dame and the wee villages. Great wee roads, not a sole on them when we did it.

Thank you. See you out there sometime soon I hope 😊
Beautiful video Jenny 👍
Thank you. It’s such an incredible climb. Absolutely beautiful 😍
@@jennycycles I'd not heard of it tbh but it sure does look lovely.
It’s another secret wee climb but one of my favourites. Challenging but so worth it!!

I’m in the same boat. So much choices!!! Just stunning places to discover. Makes it so hard to choose.

That looks great 👍
Really is beautiful 😍
Done it few weeks ago bloody tough all the way from the dam
Good going!! It’s a beautiful but brutal climb. I think the heat made it really hard and there are a few steeper sections. Had you heard of it before?

Sounds like you had a great time. It’s funny how as cyclists we love a punishing climb 😅 I’m hoping to get back over again.
@jennycycles if you go again got to do col du solude it's opposite alp d huez cut into the cliffs proper special climb
