[Part 1] Cycling Europe's Toughest Alpine Road at 50+.

Watch an exceptionally average cyclist complete the toughest and most iconic bike ride in France - la Route des Grandes Alpes. In the spirit of "Doing Hard Things" in my 50's, I teamed up with two experienced and skilled cyclist friends on an epic challenge that would take us over the highest passes in the French Alps from Lake Geneva in the north, to Nice on the Mediterranean. This episode covers the first three days of this 7 (and a half) day journey, from Geneva to Bourg-Saint-Maurice. 00:00 Introduction 01:41 What is the RDGA? 02:46 Training 04:25 Getting There 05:47 Day 1 - Thonon-les-Bains to La Clusaz 10:42 Day 2 - La Clusaz to Bourg-St.-Maurice
