Just hit the Alpe for the first time yesterday (57:57) - thanks for your motivation!

[patrickyuen]

Did the 'C' ride Friday nite and felt good. Signed up for Alpe ride this morning and regretted it as soon as it started going uphill. Hung in until halfway and could recover on the less steep parts. Pedalling squares to finish at 1:14, a few seconds faster than my first time. Glad to see the suffering is the same at the front although not as long 🙂.

Great to see you changed your mind Erik! Didn't expect that, but it wasn't too bad, right ;) Enjoyed watching your effort/suffering, again. I did both the A and B rides. For some reason I was feeling it and set a new PR with 43:22. Still wondering how that came about, maybe because I lubed my chain and recalibrated the other day. Also had 2 feathers and an aero powerup, so actually 6. I guess if there ever was a time to set a PR, it was this ToW event. Masochist badge is next up.

Noiceee ride.I got my first under your on this ride, great motivator

[danielhebert]

Did it two days ago. Nice tempo/sweet spot workout.

[ChrisP]

First nice day on the east coast, 22C. Had planned to skip out of work early and ride but of course everything at work crashed and was stuck there late. Grrr.

[CBRMackie]

Nope, not me, I didn't tell you to do it. But I saw you were signed up to do it right before I went to bed, and I just laughed! 49 minutes, that's still a great time!!!

[dwayneflynn]

great stuff Eric. it's a tough slog but fair play to ya for haven another rattle at it. sub 50 not to sniffed at. I did it today myself, 47m.47s new pr and 1st time under 50mins. came 5th. started climb about 40th took it fairly till the climb and let rip. died abot last 3 or 4tuens but held on. sufferfest.

[MayhemZwifting]

You have inspired me to try this climb again and get my fat ass up the mountain quicker than 90 minutes! Lol

[JMower]

The Alpe is so popular because people just want to see us suffer😂

[Tonysandtoes]

This is not where I parked my car LOL. I signed up for A and ended up doing C, maybe I will tackle A if the moment strikes me. Great riding, love the channel!

[PatrickLino]

36:00 mark - Mans out here flicking his elbow 🤣. Lets

[jonosmalls]

Nice! I did the Alpe for the first time today, took me 84 minutes ...

[christopherthomas]

Nice effort!! 👍 I had a feeling you would end up riding the Alpe option. 9 minutes faster than my best. I won't be riding the Alpe option until the catch up week. Hope to get outdoors more now.

[mudbone]

Excellent ride bro! You should soft pedal on the decent to get free drops hahaha.
