2017 Etape du Tour (turned into a loop by adding the descent back to Briançon)
Cycling Route
Details
201.06 km
4,718 m
Works as a DIY with controls at (check again):
Mont-Dauphin
Le Sauze du Lac (40km)
Barcelonette (75km)
Refuge Napoléon du Col d'Izoard (150 km)
Briançon (175km, also intersport)
Via Michelin comes in at 211km by avoiding the main ride if at all possible
Google walking comes in at 201km
OCD Cols (all FR-05-):
Col de Vars 2108
Col d l'Ange Gardien 1347
Col de la Platrière 2220a
Col d'Izoard 2360
les Collets (Argentière-la-Bessée) 1060 (detour)
(Total 9095)
The "must climb 100m" rule takes out getting both le Collet at Chateau-Queyras and Ange Gardien. Not stopping at Chateau-Queyras makes the distance very tight without detouring through Argentière-la-Bessée.
Stops (cafe/bakery/shop): controls +Vars (110km also has a sports/bike shop on the way in)
Route bypasses Guillestre but could detour/bail in emergency
Arvieux (140km, shop and bakeries, Intersport at La Chalp 145 km and more cafes as well)
Le Laux, Cervieres (160km, possibly water in the car park at Cervieres)
L'Argentière-la-Bessée (186km, possible extra col)
Mont-Dauphin
