    Technically, to be part of the cent cols club, you need to climb 100 cols, but at least 10 of them need to be higherthan 2000 mt. There aren't 10 cols higher than 2000 mt in the Pyrenees that I am aware of... so the time crunched way to be a "cent col" rider is flawed

    There's a real club? Ha. The club isn't mentioned in the article, and I don't think most people would care.

    I rode Col de la Core on a day with Portet d'Aspet, Col de Latrape, Col d'Agnes and Port de Lers 5 years ago, in the rain, and I wouldn't have fancied much more than that.

    That's where the name of the challenge comes from... typically it was a lifetime achievement... but these days it can be compressed in a 10 days fully supported activity for the time crunched
