We took a coach from Lyon to the top of L'Alpe d'Huez today. We are at the top of the Alps. It was a long, hard ride in a bus. And we took the easy way up. We got a glimpse of the lower part of the legendary climb the riders will do tomorrow. Holy crap. Riding up the intense grade, including 21 switchbacks, on a bike seems preposterous to me. The fact that tomorrow's stage will require them to do it twice, for the first time in history, is inconceivable to me. I can't wait to watch it.
