I had hoped to do the Galabier this year, but I think it will have to be next. Nearby, it seems to be about the hardest overall. Mostly due to the length (36 Km), which is Telegraph and Galabier, but at least there is recovery time descending from one to the other.

Of course, le Mont Ventoux is just down the road from here, and it is supposed to be fairly difficult too. I have done the easy climb from Sault, but want to do the other two as well.
