We bumped into the race a few times around Les Arcs, I love the idea of it but I have to be honest and say I would die. Die on the climbs, die on trying to ride stuff like Double Header fast and blind, probably die trying to follow the signs…

I’ve always looked at the Trans-Savoie longingly, knowing that I have not the funds, nor the spare time and possibly not the riding chops to complete it. But on paper it is still the one event in all of cycling that I would have liked to have the opportunity to enter.

Maybe I should just look a couple of years out to my next big birthday and get some sort of guided multi-day trip planned. Trips to big hills and mountains are lots of fun, but making it a point-to-point of some sort adds a real purpose and sense of achievement.

I loved the ‘Mont Thabor‘ video from a couple of years ago featuring Emily Horridge & Manon Carpenter. Something like that would be great.
