Father and son from Holland were with us last week and hired a couple of bikes. They tackled Alpe d’Huez, Col de Sarenne and also the road out to La Berarde. Apparently the father ( a keen cyclist) at 65 comfortably beat his son up all the climbs in the area.

We always like to get photos from our customers proudly wearing one of our jerseys or riding one of our bikes. Steve from North Somerset sent this one in just before he set off for some training for the More Than 21 Bends Alpe d’Huez and Ventoux tour in September

Never ridden the Col du Galibier? Join us for the Tour of the Oisans in the first week of October at the hugely discounted rate of £199 per person. The weather is usually fantastic for riding at this time of year and the roads are much less busy. Half-price bike hire is also available for this week.
With our Alpe d’Huez Jerseys proving to be so popular this summer we have now introduced the Col du Galibier Jersey.
The Col du Galibier is a lung sapping 50KM climb from our shop here in Bourg d’Oisans. We celebrate this climb with our Galibier jersey. On the left sleeve we have the More Than 21 Bends logo. Made from classic cool max lycra this is the ideal jersey to attempt the 2650 metres of the Col du Galibier and to continue to wear once you are back home.
