Cycling the Col du Telegraphe via the Col du Glandon

This was my first climb up the Col du Telegraphe of the year.

This climb comes before the massive Col du Galibier and after the Col du Glandon and  is part of La Marmotte Cycling Sportive. For those that do not know the climb it is about the same distance in length as Alpe d’Huez – but is not as high or steep.

I was out riding this today in preperation for our La Marmotte Preperation Weeks  that we run in June and September while our 9 dutch guest over for the Alpe d’Huzes were tackling some other climbs in the region.
