EVERYONE CAN DO ONE COL
This is not about watts and speed. This is a community adventure. All of us are the community. Maximillian will need our support, if he is to make all 200 cols. Join him where you can!
It does not take a super athlete to do one Deux Mille col (over 2,000 meter.) All it takes is grinding.
See when Maximillian and followers reach your permanent or holiday destination and ride with him and community riders; for one col, one day or maybe even more. Join our Strava club for exact dates and times.
At the time he reaches the penultimate climb, the legendary Col du Galibier, we hope to see a massive crowd cheering him on.
FINISH AT COL DU GALIBIER
At the time Maximillian and other community riders reach the penultimate climb, the legendary Col du Galibier (from Col du Lautaret) we hope to see a massive crowd cheering them on.
It will be the last kilometers of a massive effort and also the last minutes of filming.
We all know the spectacular scenes from Tour de France up this climb. Let us make a party all the way up.
