Any good resources for training for the Etape?

Baybash

I've just got a place on the Act 1 - Alpe d'Huez Etape and am now looking for any good sites/info on how to train for that sort of event. I'm specifically interested in how to ready myself for the altitude.

I'd suggest lots of 10 mile TTs so you cover the 15 k to the Telegraph quickly before the traffic jams start.
