The Col Collective

‪We're cruising now..day 5! A climb that tests the iron will of so many riders. Don't let the pretty pictures fool you, the last 2km serves up a delight of +10% gradients with an occasional side order of 'brutal block headwind' but keep the faith my friends, get your head down (actually keep your head up) this last ribbon of tarmac weaves through a landscape of grand mountains so close you can almost touch them. Rugged rock rising out of lush green meadows that make every painful pedal stroke 100% worth it. The Col du Glandon will always hold some very special memories for us. We are certain many of you have a few tales to tell from one of our most favourite mountain roads.

#‎12ColsofChristmas‬  The Col Collective count down 12 cols to Christmas!
