Alpe d’Huez timetrial from Bourg d’Oisans

Every thursday in July and August there is a mass start timetrial up Alpe d’Huez starting from our base town in Bourg d’Oisans. This is actually the first time I have competed in the race and managed a new personal best time of 55:49 almost a minute off my previous best. I rode with a couple of other guys for most of the climb before losing out to both of them with about 3 bends to go. For the record the winning time was an amazing 40:16 !
