I had one opportunity on one day to cycle up the iconic climb Alpe D’Huez. It didn’t help that the weather was cold for an August day and I was not well but with one chance, possibly in my lifetime I had to give it a go.
I had my own experience possibly tainted by how I was feeling but have also looked at reviews and as far as it’s place among the top best cycling climbs is concerned, the jury is out among many people who have climbed it.
Alpe D’Huez will always be a must do climb but in what ways is it found wanting compared to other famous cycling Cols?

I love at 4:46 when you are taking a breather and a swig of water, and that other cyclist is just about to take a puff of his vape!
Epic climb! Good on you for being fit enough to do it. Definitely a bucket list climb, even though the views may not be as nice as others.
