Found your write-up, great work!

Great ride, wasn't it? BTW, I took the liberty of adding a link to your post on my TBP page (7/11 entry, towards the bottom). If you'd prefer I remove it, let me know. I've written to Team Evergreen to suggest they create a clearinghouse of links, but until them, am trying to accumulate as many as I can.

google "la marmotte and the death ride" for another modest report from five years ago. The Triple is quite a bit higher in elev. than these two steep rides.

Great review of the Triple. I rode too but earlier before the weather. Parallel universe: www.grenoblecycling.com July 4, 2009 La Marmotte. I'm doubtful I could complete it and have done 14 Triples in the past 16 years.

Andrew, you did amazingly well, I was so impressed by your riding and perseverance! It was a pleasure riding with you and training with you as well.

Great review and congrats on completing the ride! Even better is the amazing kick at the end. Kudos on the strong finish in the rain, post-bonk and calorically deficient. Very, very impressive.

That was a ton of fun and I can't wait to do it all again with you guys...in ~360 days.

That is AMAZING!!

So proud of you, Andrew. Every time I think 'I can never do what he does' there is a little part of me that thinks maybe I can. Thanks for the inspiration.

Congrats of your Summer of Goals :-)
