2011 Raid Alpine with Marmot Tours

Porkyboy

Hi

Rode this recently and thought this might be of interest to anyone who might be considering a trip like this or to jog memories of folks who've ridden it before.

This material is just from stage one and I'll be producing similar pieces for the remaining 5 stages. Feel free to circulate to interested parties.

Thanks for this, me and 11 club mates are flying out this Saturday to do the same trip with them, how was the weather for you?

Hi Mat

Weather was good, we were very lucky. Some folks who left the day before us had poor weather, that's the mountains for you. I've stuck the links to the photos I took on the 6 stages below so you can judge for yourself and also see what's in store for you. Most of the photos are geotagged so you can see on the album map exactly where they were taken.

Have a great ride, stay safe.

No problem Mat. Proper training and pacing are the keys to a good holiday.
