The snow is well and truely disappearing now and the cyclist are back out in force – its nice to once again share Alpe d’Huez with other people rather than plodding up on my lonesome.

Just a quick update as I have done a couple of videos over the last month…..
Last month I did a video of the descent of Alpe d’Huez on my road bike.
This month I switched to my other passion of mountain biking and did the “alternative” descent of Alpe d’Huez.
Anyway lets move on. My first accent (of many) this month was with a couple of Virgin Alpe d’Huez cyclist – despite one living in Bourg d’Oisans for 4 years already – David . David borrowed one of our hire bikes and climbed the 21 bends in 90 minutes. My other companion was my neices boyfriend James (bonn petit numero) Berry. Despite consuming more cigarettes in a day than there are bends on Alpe d’Huez he made it up in a time of 101 minutes (with a couple of stops on route)
Our customers are now coming thick and fast for the summer so no doubt I will be up Alpe d’Huez a few more times this month.
I am riding Alpe d’Huez every month in 2009 for Plan-uk.org . You can sponsor me at Just Giving. If you would like to be kept up to date with my progress then click on this link below to subscribe to the blog
