In preparation for the Haute Route Crans Montana, I spent 3 days training on the Cote d'azur, cumulating in the my first big fitness test since the crash and severe injuries in May last year. The Col made famous by Lance Armstrong, has never featured on the Tour de France, but remains loved and revered by cyclists of all capabilities - including la crème de la crème. It is perhaps Cycling’s ultimate fitness benchmark, where the best are able to gauge if they are race ready.

So, like a moth to a lamp, I was drawn to Lance’s Col - to assess progress on my own journey back to full health and the Haute Route and the Swiss Cols, guided by Paul Hamblett, who as always provides incredible practical advice from the saddle in order to deliver our best speed and mental fortitude !

See if I get close to Lance’s fabled best ! ….. ok, tune in to see just how much time I lose !
