Four months ago Pat came to me and asked if I would help train him in his preparation for the Marmotte. To be honest I had to ask what this was. The Marmotte is a legendary cyclosportive race over 174 Km and a 5000m height gain. The race starts from Bourg-D’Oisans (717m) and ends at the legendary Alpe-d’Huez. In between the race will ride over the mountain passes of Glandon (1818m), Telelgraphe (1570m), Galibier (2642m) and Lautaret (2057m).
Pat has done a great job in preparing for his trip and he leaves this week. Wish him well as he sets off on an adventure of a lifetime. I am very much looking forward to hearing about his race when he returns.
Bonne Chance Mon Ami!
