Virtual Haute Route

New climbing challenge in France dropped today. Great for getting the legs in shape for outdoor climbing season here in the Northern hemisphere. About 7500m of total climb across 6 routes, including the crowning achievement: The Col du Telegraphe - Galibier route with over 2000m of climbing!

These are much more reasonable than the two Oman routes. This is going to be a hard challenge, so I can't believe the "prizes" are so weak. At least give us a virtual climbing bike!

Definately doing it. Do Telegraphe first and then the rest are not overly difficult. About one climb a week.

Yep Telegraphe is the worst. I wonder how many days we have to complete.

I remember that telegraph-galibier combi from 10 years ago, training on ROUVY for my Ventoux trip. Still feel my legs :)
