Video from the Galibier

by Tim M October 29, 2009 France09

God I love riding. This was an epic day. Poor old Mike did all the work up the Col du Telegraphe, but I was Menchoving so well that day, when he flicked his elbow, all he got was cold, steely Russian “Nyet”. Hhahaa.

by Tim M August 26, 2009 France09

We drove to St Michel de Maurienne and then headed straight up the Col du Telegraphe, which is a really tough little climb up to I think 1570m. There is good coffee at the top.
