It's not the highest pass we did but it was by far the best (scariest) it certainly focused the mind lol

That was the dress code for the Alpes D'Huez which is part of the Tour De France route.


Here's me celebrating after riding my bike all the way up.   (OK I cheated).

The Tracer is an excellent bike. Very light and easy to handle. Only small gripe I have is the 18 Litre tank. You will get 200 miles out of a full tank unless you hammer it. On our tour of the Alps, some days we had to cover long distances at high speed and after about 120 miles you would start looking for a fuel station.
