Megeve Mont Blanc info?

I've ridden twice, and will probably be there this summer. They have moved it to earlier in the
season now, from the start of September. It's a nice event, the climbs are beautiful and not too
tough compared to something like the Marmotte. From memory, about 1,200 people take part.

I have written two diary entries on my website, the Grenoble Cycling Pages, for the two occasions
I've ridden.

I did it 3.5 times. Great ride, good organization, fantastic landscapes. True is they changed the
track, reduced the # of passes and the distance. Also, the event usually took place in late Summer
while now they moved it in June. The only detail I don't really like of the event is the grouped
start: it looks very messy and can be dangerous. If only they would allow for a "French start",
giving a time window rather than an exact time... All in all, I would recommend it.

Ciao,
