That is impressive that you can do it. I don't think I could do it if given several days. I assume it is in switchback style? How many turns?
The winner averaged about 21.5 mph today. THat is for climbing the galibier, croix de feu and the Alpe d'Huez. So see if you can go up and down and up and down and up and then see what your average speed is to compare.
DOn't get me wreong, i am impressed you can do it at all, as I couldn't, but I am in awe of these guys today.
