Did this event in 2022. We did a time trial up the Loze…..hardest climb I’ve ever done (and that was just the section from Meribel). These events are all about pacing and nutrition. Ride yourself into it and don’t get carried away on day 1. Best of luck. Look forward to seeing how you get on.
Thanks mate - you've just raised my levels of apprehension a notch with your review of that climb.... :-) Thanks for watching, it's great to have you along.
Playing catch up on your vids mate! HR looks insane, looking forward to seeing your progress in the lead up to it, i'm sure you'll give it your all like you always do!
@@denebrown4065 Thank mate….. I’ll definitely be smashed by the end of it. Hopefully the training I’ve got lined up over the next few weeks will get me through it 😬 Thanks for watching 👍
It’s mad how we class ourselves as “average” riders, mate your adventures and what you do is epic! I’m 46, 85kg, over 300ftp and just getting over COVID I’m sat here doubting myself as to whether I’ll get back to riding how I was pre illness, of course I will, it’s just a sickness! Pre sickness I was building to my next trip to Calpe in October and seeing your videos inspire me as the Haute route has always had my interest. Time to build harder, stronger and faster hey, I look forward to seeing your journey.
Thanks mate….. you’ll be back at it in no time. With the right outlook no reason why you can’t bounce back stronger than before … I love Calpe, hopefully I’ll be back there in a few weeks as part of HR prep… Thanks for watching
@@NeilAmos-cw7kk in a world of cycling TH-camrs all seemingly banging out 400 watts / 5+ watts per kilo for miles on end , I’m bang average mate… This sport is mental, there’s levels, upon levels, upon levels… I’d say I’m average if you say otherwise, I’ll take it as a compliment 😊.. Thanks for watching. 👍
I am here for this Dave, this is going to make some awesome content! Not too sure I agree with the average cyclist thing as you are clearly really fit/fast, buuuut I am really interested to see how much you can push it. Good luck mate.
@@LeeWright …. Thanks mate. I’m keen to see where I can get to over the next few weeks… 6 weeks isn’t long and my coach has his work cut out to make a difference in time for the event… Let’s see what the next few weeks bring.. 👍
Update…. Due to a clash with the Euro final on Sunday evening, the follow up with my coach will now drop Wednesday night at 19:00… 👍

Hi Dave! Any news on your Canyon Aeroad or has it been rotting in your garage?
I’ll update on the Aeroad soon mate…. Thanks for watching 😊
@@daveridesagain Nice! Looking forward to that video! Keep up the great content Dave!👏🙏
Does your training plan incorporate trying to rip each others legs off up the Bowburn bypass again any time soon? 😂😉
Haha… I didn’t see it in the schedule mate 😂 I’m sure it could feature if you fancy a ride out ( one day when it’s not absolutely hammering down…. )
@@daveridesagain probs see you after Haute Route then… 🙄🌧️🌧️🌧️
