Week 4 Profile

Energia Magica

This profile is all about energy. It is a hard and long climb, but the music should help to carry you up the hill. In terms of where we are riding - we will be traveling up the Col de la Forclaz in the Northern Alpes of France. It is a 5 mile climb with an average gradient of 8.1%. It has also been used as a part of the Tour de France!!

In the graph shown ,the red climbs are the steepest, over 10% - in everyday life - this means that a car would have to shift into first gear to make it up! The yellow is the next steepest part at 8-10%, blue is at 6-8% and the green is the easiest. The objective of this week's ride is all about mental toughness - so show us your strong and lets start this climb!
