Watch an exceptionally average cyclist complete the toughest and most iconic bike ride in France – la Route des Grandes Alpes. In the spirit of “Doing Hard Things” in my 50’s, I teamed up with two experienced and skilled cyclist friends on an epic challenge that would take us over the highest passes in the French Alps from Lake Geneva in the north, to Nice on the Mediterranean.
This episode covers the first three days of this 7 (and a half) day journey, from Geneva to Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
