Possibly the toughest Prestige in Japan to date took place over the weekend in the remote mountainous area of Kamikatsu, Tokushima, on the island of Shikoku. Famous for it's unspoiled mountainous landscape and zero waste mission.
With a contrast of falling cherry blossoms, almost 4,000 meters of climbing and the longest gravel road in Japan – 35 riders from across the globe pushed themselves beyond their limits on the beautiful but punishing course with only 7 finishing.
Limited edition of 2011
The Col du Galibier was first scaled by cyclists at the Tour de France in 1911. Henri Desgrange, the Father of the Tour, heralded it as a great victory for mankind to defy the laws of gravity and climb this giant. Referred to by some as the “Roof of the Tour”, the centenary of its presence in the world’s most famous race is something to be celebrated, particularly for those who have managed to conquer it. This year’s Tour de France pays tribute not once but twice, scaling the 2556m over consecutive stages as the climax to this year’s race.
Great bag but was a little too small for what i had planned for it. So it had to go back now saving up for a backpack!
Upstairs in the shop. I was told the Rapha boss of Japan also imports Independent Fabrication so that what the shop people ride, nice!
