Well you could vary your return routes and alternate between the Alpe and Col de Sarenne

Seriously I can’t find any fault with all of the rides I did in the the UK. The Komoot rides if anything were Very rural low tragic with just a few exceptions

Where is the not like button. These rides are brutal enough in the VR world. You guys have my respect going them for real.

It’ll be worth it to know we’re sleeping on THE mountain

Competitive advantage, sleep at altitude
little try out on new crank and see if arse has healed.
gearing is spot on smooth, mainly will be using 36t middle crank. Legs feel great despite just done leg workout yesterday. I was powering up drags stood up with no burn or drop off in power.
Long mountain rides do build strength

Considering bike / gearing options for the Alps.
1. Summer bike with climbing wheels, 52/36 and 12-29
2. Winter bike, 50/34 and 13-30 (currently 12-27 so will need new chain as well)
3. Winter bike, change chain rings to 48/32 (praxis chain set) and 13-30 cassette
Option to put climbing wheels (campag shamal) on winter bike. Changing groupset on summer bike too much hassle and campag don't do less than 50/34.

Can you just change the chain rings / entire crankset on your summer bike to a 50/34? Or different bb / crank arm to winter bike? How much do you enjoy riding each bike?
50 / 34 will be fine. Put the 30 casssette on your shamals. Lee seemed to spin fine on that combo and we went up some steep bits.
Personally bringing a bike labelled ‘winter bike’ feels like a compromise but it depends on how much you like the bike vs your summer bike.

Didn't Lee use a 33t chainring?
He is also very light in weight. I know Paul is pretty light, but !

I had 33 29 as the last option
Shamal wheels
CXRANDY put me on to the 33 inner ring ( can’t remember from where ) it had suppose to fit Campag but I think I ordered the wrong one and I had to get the offset hole milled slightly
No issues shifting from 33 to 50
If I had another gear I would have used it but I didn’t - and I didn’t want to cry in front of tommy

lee, bike bag option. Not sure if cheaper elsewhere.
Not a hard box though if that matters to you.
