The video was shot holding a little Canon Ixus 860 with a 4gb card. I can film about 35 minutes with the card.

Remember to click the high quality option as this is now available. It a lot better to see the detail, especially at the top of the Galibier.

Thanks, guys. I'm happy you enjoyed it - some nice memories for me as well. I'm not sure on why we don't have the High Quality option.

Great video - I also rode La Marmotte in 2008 and 2007. Can't wait to be back in 2009! What a great reminder of an epic ride.

French So lucky to have such good cycling on their doorstep.

Here in the UK,the average driver has no respect or understanding for a cyclist.

Way to go France and it's inhabitants.

I grew up in France with a cycling obsessed dad... He did the Marmotte several times... and I always wanted to give it a try - into triathlon at the mo... but definitely a trip back to the Galibier at some point in 2009. Great video, and good effort!
