Hi

Next stop: the Alps. Is l'Alpe d'Huez generally reckoned to be easier or
harder than Ventoux?



I'd say it's easier, but I did them on different bikes. Ventoux was on
my own, heavyish, Raleigh tourer stripped down. Alpe d'Huez was on a
road bike hired from a bike shop in the middle of Bourg d'Osain (sp?).
This was fitted with a triple so was lower geared. However by the
time I did Alpe d'Huez I'd done more cycling, so may have been fitter.
