The countdown is officially over. This weekend, two of our incredible Boost Coaching athletes, ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ด๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ๐, are lining up in Le Bourg-d'Oisans to take on one of the most legendary, brutal, and awe-inspiring cycling challenges on the planet:

They will be tackling the exact route of Stage 20 of this year's Tour de France. To give you an idea of the absolute monster of a day they have ahead of them, here is a quick look at the numbers:
๐ด170 kilometers of relentless road
๐ดA staggering 5,400 meters of elevation change
๐ดFive iconic alpine climbs that have shaped cycling history: the stepping blocks of the Col de la Croix de Fer, the continuous 40km physical toll of the Col du Tรฉlรฉgraphe and Col du Galibier (topping out at a thin 2,642 meters!), the rugged and wild Col de Sarenne, and finishing on the holy grail of cycling
๐ด 21 legendary switchbacks up to Alpe d'Huez!

We also want to send a massive shout-out and the best of luck to three other amazing members of the Boost Community who are over there in France sharing the experience and taking on this epic alpine journey:
โฑ๏ธSam Sharp
โฑ๏ธMegan Hart
โฑ๏ธJosh Hamblyn
Look out for each other out there, stay safe on those fast descents, and enjoy every second of riding on those closed, fan-lined roads!
The entire Boost Coaching community back home in New Zealand is cheering you all on every single meter of the way.
Go get it, team! ๐ดโ๏ธ๐จ๐ณ๐ฟ
