Brevet de randonneur des Alpes (7/19) info?
I'll be spending 10 days in France with my son during the TdF, and
noticed this event going on- http://www.cyclotourisme-grenoble-ct...8&I temid=170 Looks interesting, since it would including Alpe d'Huez, something my son would like to ride (not a part of the TdF this year). Does anyone know much about this event? Not much info in English. I can sorta read French and translate what I can't figure out through Google, but the info is still pretty sparse. Thanks- --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

Only the Balcon des Grandes Rousses on July 19th reaches the village l'Alpe d'Huez, but through another climb to the (beautiful, quiet) Col de Sarenne. The descent is also not the traditional road (only the upper part). Henk |
