Super usefull… thanks a million. La marmotte here we come!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck
The presenter and commentary in this video are stellar - Thank You
Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated, Mike
zeer informatief en nuttig, mijn eerste maal de marmotte, deed in het verleden de canibaal. kijk er naar uit. nog een goeie 2 weken
Good luck and don’t go too fast up the Glandon !!
@@CyclingInTheAlps thanks
Thanks very much for this! Found the tips on the water stops particularly helpful. I'm doing it next week and I'm slightly paranoid about running out of water as i know how important it is to stay hydrated!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck. I'm planning for the Swiss version this year for something different!
Cheers Mate !
Merci!
Super informative - love the graphics and your commentary - thank you
Merci!
Excellent video. Hope to get to do it in 2024 .I’ve done all the climbs but not in one ride so l will be following your advice 🙂
Thanks. Good luck!
great video's! they actually made me start training for the 2024 edition!
Brilliant! Good luck with the training. Its a marathon not a sprint! Whats the loco on your channel picture?
@@CyclingInTheAlps thanks! that why i'll take an extra year for training. the loco is a drawing of a previous colorsheme of an old belgian train, personal favorite of mine ;)
@@toonanvers3750 here's my other channel @mikebooth9036
Thanks for the tips - really helped me last week. Went really steady on the Glandon so finished the whole ride feeling pretty good. Two pieces of insight from me - the Glandon climb between the two reservoirs felt the steepest part of the whole ride, harder than the Galibier - the other one is the temperature in the valley is brutal, my garmin was recording 38° (in the sun)
Great to hear Daniel! Well done. Yes I agree with the Glandon gradient - its where the guy ships his chain at 4 mins into the video. I think the heat was on another level this year. Its been a crazy June although finally its cooled down a bit this weekend.
Great video - and perfect advice. I also took part in the 2021 Marmotte and could have done with this advice 👍
Thanks Phill. Hope you are fully mended. Cheers Mike
Great work! I wondered how can I get water.And then, how could we found lavatories on the route?
Thanks for your question. There are a few toilets along the route - by the water fountain in St Jean de Michel and I think some of the feed stations may have portaloos. Good luck.
Thanks for the really helpful video. One ask, as I will probably need every water source on the way :) What does the "be warned" the water sources up the Alp are at mains pressure mean? Slow flow?
Thanks for watching. Mains pressure is very high pressure so it will blow the bidon out of the hand as you turn it on!
@@CyclingInTheAlps Today I learned :) THX! Great Vid BTW!
Great overview Mike - not this year though as I'm heading to the Pyrenees for a change! Next year though.....🙂
Thanks Richard - good luck in the Pyrennees. I think its the Swiss Marmotte Valais for me plus the Etape
@@CyclingInTheAlps good luck with those! Look forward to seeing your vlogs on them 🙂
Thanks for all the info! Is there food available at the 'feed stops' for everyone, or only for people part of some organised tour thing? If so, would you happen to know what kind of food? Do they also provide carb drinks?
Hi thanks for watching. The official feeds are for everyone. Some tour operators have their own. They have everything from bars and gels to fruit and carb drinks
This is really helpful. Do you know what km the water stops are at?
Thanks Gary - there used to be a profile plan on the oficial website however I cannot see that on the new version - this one is a copy of it half way down the page www.granfondoguide.com/Events/Index/593/marmotte-gran-fondo-alps
Top tip re the old jumper for the morning descent of alpe, 100% doing that.
How long do you think I should give myself for the start line?
I would stick a bag up your jumper too. Allowing for mechanicals, pee stops etc at least an hour. Maybe 95 mins. It’s a great atmosphere down at the start if it’s a nice sunny day. Good luck.
Great video, at what km do the train tracks come across the road?
Thanks for your question. Approx 68km.
