Cent Cols Challenge - Northern Alps

The single NEW route for 2016 and a definite step-up from the Southern Alps. Most stages with over 5000m of climbing, the route is as ‘grand’ as the scenery, with roads ranging from ‘rustic’ to busier ‘tourist highways’ (not literally, but well-frequented and well tarmac’d!). This will be as intense as it is beautiful. Two double-night-stays in hotels take off the relentless re-packing stress slightly. Warning: some high elevation will require careful clothing preparation for this event. 10 days of riding, covering a total of 1882km.
