I’m watching the 2000 Tour right now because I was too young to watch it back in the day. They had a 250 KM mountain stage deep into the 2nd week of the tour. That is so freaking savage, no wonder these boys were doped to the gills....

re: Which feat is harder, thru hiking the AT or riding the Tour de France route?

Posted by crazyLSUstudent on 4/10/24 at 7:36 pm

AT cause more shite can go wrong/more opportunity for injury but you can hike into fitness. I think the tour would require a much higher baseline fitness to complete in the 3 week time frame and take years to get to that baseline assuming you are starting from nothing. Therefore, the tour would be ha...

Angliru (tour of Spain) is probably the hardest climb in procycling. 13 KM at 10% avg with pitches above 20%. I think you could also argue Zoncolan or the Stelvio for the tour of Italy. Thing to remember about the alps most of those climbs are very draft able and pretty steady grade between 4-7%. A...
