This diary is partly a record of my training for my own benefit and (hopefully) part inspiration for others and also to give some help to Marmotte novices who maybe wondering what it takes to complete the grand daddy of all sportives, plus some advice on equipment etc.
I've ridden it 4 times (along with the Vaujany sportive that takes place the Sun before) and finally (!) acheived gold medal (for my age group 40-49) in 2009 (this after crashing on the descent of the Glandon !).
Much of what I've learn't riding the Marmotte is equally applicable to any major sportive.
Let the training begin..................
