The Smoky Mountain Hiking Blog: l’Etape du Tour: Reprised

You may recall the guest blog series from several weeks ago by a friend of mine that chronicled his l’Etape du Tour ride in France. Just a couple of days ago he sent me a link to a photo montage that provides a much more in-depth look at his ride, that replicated Stage 19 of the Tour de France this year. At 26 minutes, the photo show might be a little lengthy for some, but the photographs of the French mountains are beautiful. Additionally, they provide a general idea of what its like to climb some of the most famous mountains in the worlds greatest bike race.
