The first challenge is being held on the 14th – 24th September 2009, in the French Alps.

  • 10 long, hard and unforgettable days in the saddle, with just one rest day.
  • A fully-supported ride on the best cycling roads in the high mountains of the French Alps.
  • The outstanding views alone will make you glad to be there.
  • The 2009 edition includes most of the Classic Alpine Climbs.
  • Distance: approximately 2,000 kms. Climbing: approximately 45,000 metres. A long way up…
  • The first event is being ridden in teams of four. Due to excessive demand, ten teams have been accepted for 2009. However, it is planned that henceforth places will be limited to a total of 30 riders in teams of three, four or five. This is a new and unique event – those riding it this year will be helping to establish the true character of the Cent Col Challenges for the future.

If you think limits are mere perceptions; if a remote part of your mind likes the idea of riding ten ‘Etapes du Tour’ back to back, then this event could be for you.
