Just plotted both of the routes me and a friend are doing when we do the Tour du Mont Blanc in two days at the end of August.

Day One: http://www.strava.com/routes/718209

Day Two: http://www.strava.com/routes/718473

All I can say is ouch - going to be two long days in the saddle and around 10000m of climbing.

This is the last and the third part of our triple charity cyling challange which also included London to Paris in 24hr and JOGLE in 7 days. Looking forward to finishing and having no more cycling challenges ahead of me or training for them for a while! Might do Off-tober!

Most definitely, I work near where you live by the looks of it, so we can go one night after work? Or a weekend evening. Its a shame its a 12 mile ride just to get there though!

Hopefully my saddle will be here soon too then, think I ordered the same day

yeah weekend mind be good! not much chance of doing it after work I'm literally out of poof after work :o

When did you order? Hopefully mine should arrived next week.

ordered 20th of July! so 10ish days to get here :o

Right, I'm in my hotel room ahead of he triathlon tomorrow. No radiator or exposed pipe work in the room, so I've stood my bike up in the bath and locked it to the old person handles. It'll have to do!

nope :o was marked as a $10 gift haha :D

ordered 20th Jul, arrived today.

That's good of them.

I once ordered a $10 laptop component from the USA over the internet, and was gifted with £16 of customs charges. Apparently "that's double the value of what the item is worth" is not a logical argument. I'm now wary of international shipping :p
