The Grand Colombier Climb

September 2, 2022 · TFKCC Blog Admin
Today was exhausting! Want to know why? We made it to the top of Col du Grand Colombier, a popular Tour de France climb! Well…. Brad made it to the top… and I met Brad at the top, as my E-bike battery would not have lasted the climb (and the rest of the day), so instead I descended with him and enjoyed the view along the way!
Let’s look at some numbers from today:
  • Grand Colombier: 4914 feet, 22% maximum gradient, 8% average gradient
  • 45 min for Brad to bike (alone) on the toughest climb in France: Col du Grand Colombier, a popular Tour de France climb
