I’m racing on Sunday in the Megève Mont Blanc cycle race, basically a whizz up and down a few of the local cols – about 2500m worth of climbing.
There’s a choice of races in terms of difficulty and I’m plumping for the middle one as I’m still struggling with my training after feeling out of sorts last week. The Virtual Competitor on the Garmin is a major help, though, and me and my cycling mates are hooked on it.
You can race against yourself on a route you’ve previously done, brilliant for pushing yourself on days when you don’t have a training partner, and you can swap routes with mates so that you can race one another. Then, to see it all in glorious technicolour, you can upload to GPSies and trace your route through the mountains in 3D.

Hi, no problem if you use on your university blog. A backlink to us would be appreciated.
Awesome top picture. Can I use it with a credit back to your site on a feature I’m researching about bicycle climbing and the effects on the body?
No problem, but please credit the photographer, Mark Junak. A backlink would also be appreciated.
