Travel:  Stage 11 of the 2022 Tour de France climbed the mighty Col du Galibier at 2645 meters altitude, in the middle of a brutal first day in the Alps and enroute to a summit finish atop the Col du Granon.  I "rode" the Telegraphe / Galibier duo back in 2017 - maybe better to say I hauled my carcass up it. Here's a glimpse of the climb as I get inside 3km to the summit. It really is epic and awe inspiring - a must do.

ROADSIDE St.15: We can’t stay without bad weather at the Giro 2013, so a storm of snow just hit us when the race passed at 3km to the finish where me and my friend Salvo waited for the maglia rosa. But a part of that the day has been fantastic with perfect weather and the snow moment just added an epic touch.
