    The 1929 Tour de France stage 10

    Has been referred to as the hardest stage ever. With a 40% failure rate, this very stage was a turning point in the events history. The setting to such tortuous self inflicted scourging would be none other than Frances Haute Pyrenees. Which after 1929 lovingly earned the title “the place dreams go to die.”   

    Why does this matter?

    The Haute Pyrenees would also be the setting for the Impossible Routes Season 2 Episode 2 "Tour de Gravel". Not only paying homage to the 1929 Tour de France but also increasing the punishment on an equal scale to modern equipment.

     Whos taking on the challenge?

    None other than ALMSTHRE ambassadors The Vegan Cyclist (Tyler) and Jeremiah Bishop. Check out the episode below to see what we are talking about!

    Team Best MAAP Equinox ride: "A Million Feet, One Smile at a Time"

    The goal was deceptively simple: as a group, climb 1,000,000 feet in a single day on San Diego's Mt. Soledad. At first glance, it might sound monotonous or downright tedious, but scratch the surface, and you'll find an endless maze of roads winding their way up to the summit. The real kicker? No matter which route you took, each lap only netted you a mere 700-1,000 feet of elevation gain. A million feet? Yeah, it was a grind—but somehow, everyone did it with a smile.
