Four adventurers with one goal: suffering as much as possible on top of the bike to discover some of the most iconic mountain climbs in the French Alps. Taking advantage of Kevin (one of the four) living in Grenoble, and being all fans of le Tour de France, we decided to spend four days biking non-flat terrain with the tent and sleeping bag on the porte-baggage behind the seat. Our small Tour de France consisted in:

• Day 1: Col de la Morte, Col de Ornon and _Alpe d’Huez. I never thought I would finish this day
• Day 2: Col de la Croix de Fer. Getting into the mood!
• Day 3: Col du Telegraphe and Col de Galibier. Last mountain pass and where the picture was taken:
• Day 4: 70 km of flat-downish road to make it back to Grenoble. The adventure was complete and the shower well deserved

Few years later, with my brother and a better shape this time, we went back to have our revenge and climb Col de la Morte, Col de Ornon (from both sides then) and Alpe d’Huez with less pain on the legs.
