Alex Bourne climbs the legendary Alpe D'Huez during summer 2001:

"I enjoyed the climb up l'Alpe d'Huez, even though it was difficult. (I stopped 5 or 6 times for water 

(I did it in the middle of the day and it was 40+ degrees centigrade in the sun) but made it in the end). 

The descent afterwards was the best part though, and I would climb it again just for that!

The climb is 13 kms long rising 1100 metres with 21 bends. 

I hope to do it again if I visit the area in the future".
