I'll probably be back to around 150,000 next year. I had a trip to France this year which helped with winter motivation and added a few more meters.
So that best NPCCI of 114 was from the Marmotte?... I expect so, boy to break 100 you really have to do a mega-ride!.
We need a climbing under the km bar

The 114 would be from the Marmotte. The Audax ACE 250 comes in at around 108 I think. both pretty epic rides. The marmotte was sensational, probably the best ride i've done, would love to go over again, just hope the wife will agree!
The marmotte is the Glandon, Telegraphe, Galibier and Alpe d'Huez. 174kms /5000 meters. 7-8000 riders, lots of Belgians& Dutch, but many nationalities. Didn't see any aussies but there were a few apparently.

classic cycling tours (uk) or you could solo it.
I did take some pics and was going to post them one day, but it still hasn't happened.
