You may know it as cycling up Alpe d'Huez, Alpe du Zwift, the 21 Bends, or le 21 virages.
Here is a full video of the descent of Alpe d'Huez.
I am going to cycle up Alpe d'Huez every day for 30 days. This is day 16. The climb of Alpe d'Huez, is a famous stage of the Tour de France, and is probably the most iconic climb in all of cycling history. The climb has an average gradient of 8.1%, for a total of 13km, with parts hitting 11.5%. Many cyclists come here to test themselves against the greats, and against themselves. Whether you want to be the next Pantani, Romain Bardet, or simply just reach the top. Cycling the 21 Bends up to Alpe d'Huez is always a challenge.
Although this was the descent, you can see today's climb of Alpe d'Huez, and follow me on Strava, here:
