Congrats to our buddy Mike Stewart of the Cycle Jerks Podcast for making it up the famous L'Alpe d'Huez climb yesterday. Not too bad for an old guy! This is a total bucket list climb for so many fans of bike racing. It brings back memories of incredible efforts by Fausto Coppi, Bernard Hinault, Greg Lemond, Andy Hampsten, Marco Pantani, and yes, even Lance Armstrong. Check out Mike’s full effort on Strava and give him kudos. You can see the full leaderboard on Strava here and read more about the history of this incredible climb at Cycling News.
