And we thought we had done well

As we got to the Galibier we we 'assaulted' by thousands of cyclists coming the other way.

This is actually a race with 7000 participants!!

A legendary cyclosportive race over 174 km and with a 5 000 m height gain. Departure from Bourg-d’Oisans (717 m), arrival at Alpe-d’Huez (1 880 m). Riding over the mountain passes of Glandon (1 818 m), Télégraphe (1 570 m), Galibier (2 642 m) and Lautaret (2 057 m).

Respect.
