Don’t miss the full episode from Col du Galibier

Let’s take you up the Col du Galibier, one of the most famous clubs from the Tour de France, and by far my favorite. Don’t miss the full episode, where I cement my victory in the Tour de France!

Today we’re going to take you up the cold de Galibier deep in the French Alps. This is one of the most famous climbs from the tour to France. Often the highest summit and considered one of the most wild and beautiful. You start in the town of Valoir known for skiing, hiking, rock climbing, rocking out, but mostly cycling. Get a nice buttery quas and then hit the road. You’ll pass the chapel of St. Bernard who is the patron saint of mountain climbing. Respect. It’s a long, straight, and not too steep drag out of town along a beautiful stream with lots of great spots for a picnic. Pretty soon, you’ll be into beautiful fields of wild flowers, grazing sheep, and possibly ibecks. Also, keep an eye out for marmets or fancy cars because this is part of the route Grand Alps, a popular drive from the Alps to the French Riviera. You’ll pass a cafe that has a bouncy house for some reason, and then you cross a little bridge, and I’d say that’s when the real climb starts. It gets a little bit steeper here, twistier, and as the altitude creeps up, you’ll see less vegetation, more rocks, and eventually snow. This is in June. Play it safe and bring a jacket. With a few K to go, you’ll pass a cheese shop in the middle of nowhere, offering the local specialty of Bowfort cheese. Save that for the way back. Don’t push too hard because the altitude at the top is no joke, and choking ruins the view. Take your picture. Soak in the view. You earned it. Now coast down for some cheese. You earned that, too. Don’t forget to get some for your friends. Girl, preacher.
