If you’ve ever dreamed of riding the beautiful French Alps then you’ve got to check out Cycling Challenge. Wills challenge this year is to ride 160,000 vertical meters. That’s over a half-million vertical feet!
His blog is full of great beta on all the best climbs in the Alps. The elevation profiles are cool and his photo collection has me salivating. I can’t wait for my own trip to the Alps and am jealous that Will lives there and can ride these beautiful mountains every day.

Hi Arlyn,
Yep the cycle-challenge blog is cool. I have already done a few trips to the Alps and they are fantastic.
I am moving from the UK to Australia this year and thought I should do a big bike trip in between. So I am planning to spend 6 weeks cycling along the length of the Pyrenees and the Alps.
It is great that you are getting into the Alps. I should also be in the Alps at around the same time, maybe we will bump into each other on the road
Hello Arlyn,
You will have a great time on your Alps trip.
I will also be watching the Galibier // Alpe d’Huez stage of this year’s Tour.
I’ll be the bald guy in a polka dot jersey going up slowly but cheerfully.
Regards
Will
