Alpe d’Huez is iconic and in June, Andrew Feather is joining us there for Epic21: a five-day cycling adventure culminating in an epic challenge.

Yes, Andrew is the GCN regularly featured climber and 3-times UK hill champion who can ride at pro speed and normally drop most riders in seconds (as Scott training in the Lake District with Andrew experienced whilst climbing at over 600w as you can see on his Wahoo in the short clip)…but for Epic21 he’s promised to ride at mortal speed and ride the week with the group.

Across four days you’ll explore the legendary road rides around Alpe d’Huez in small groups (firm favourites of the Tour de France), with plenty of time to come together in the evenings for shared meals, stories and recovery.

On the final day you’ll take on our Epic21 challenge…as many ascents of the classic Alpe d’Huez 21-hairpin climb as you can manage. No race, no competition, just each rider pushing themselves to meet their own goals within a supportive atmosphere.

Come and be part of it → 6-11 June 2026 → epic21.co.uk

Mount Everest summit is 8,848 meters above sea level and Everesting is covering that amount of vertical ascent in one ride.
You can go up and down your local climb all day or pick a longer climb. Picking such iconic Tour de France climb like Alpe d’Huez does however make the challenge even more memorable. The great thing with Alpe d’Huez is that the full climb is 1120m of vertical gain over 14km so if you do it 8 times in a row you will have climbed 8,960m or the equivalent of Mount Everest. Irishman Ronan Mc Laughlin currently holds the men’s Everesting record in 6 hours 40 minutes whilst British Illi Gardner has the women record in 8 hours 3 minutes. Though one should maybe allow slightly more time if they want to have a go on the Epic21 Alpe d’Huez challenge day... In fact we will put a bottle of Champagne in the fridge for anyone who manages the 8 climbs as part of the Epic21 challenge on 10th June.
