When an invitation to ride the three-day Haute Route Davos in the Swiss Alps pinged into my inbox on a Friday morning in April, I accepted in a flash.<\/p>\n

I love climbing hills, but Birmingham where I live is better known for its Peaky Blinders than lofty peaks.<\/p>\n

I can accumulate stacks of elevation in the nearby Worcestershire and Shropshire hills, but climbs longer than 20 minutes are hard to come by.<\/p>\n

Consequently, I was thoroughly underprepared for what lay ahead in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

On foreign roads, I wanted to ride something familiar: my 2017 Canyon Ultimate CF SLX<\/a>, a gorgeous looking bike I bought second-hand late last year.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019re reading this, you\u2019ll gather I made it down the 15km-descents in one piece, despite using obsolete stopping technology, namely rim brakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But I made a handful of changes to its already splendid spec to better suit the dizzying d\u00e9nivel\u00e9<\/em> \u2013 or height difference \u2013 to come.<\/p>\n

The horse:<\/strong> Jack\u2019s 2017 Canyon Ultimate CF SLX with SRAM Red eTap, Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels and Favero Assioma Duo power meter pedals.<\/p>\n

The course:<\/strong> Haute Route Davos, two 100km stages with 6,000m elevation and a 15km uphill time trial.<\/p>\n

The goal:<\/strong> To finish in one piece and move up the field to a reasonable position\u00a0<\/p>\n

The backdrops were quite something.<\/span><\/figcaption> Haute Route <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The Haute Route Davos took place in the host town of the World Economic Forum in the south-eastern Graub\u00fcnden region of Switzerland.<\/p>\n

The event is far less arduous than five- and seven-day epics the Haute Route company organises in the French Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es and Alps.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the Haute Route Davos \u2013 or as one rider quipped \u201cwho can ride the expensive bike up the hill fastest\u201d \u2013 packed 6,000m of climbing into two 100km-stages and a 15km uphill time trial on the final day.<\/p>\n

And the route was indeed \u201chaute\u201d, as my unnaclimatised lungs discovered after climbing above 2,300m on three separate occasions.<\/p>\n

The Haute Route Davos included several timed sections a day from which the day\u2019s winners and general classifications were calculated.<\/p>\n

These were almost entirely on climbs and flat valley segments rather than descents for safety purposes.<\/p>\n

The competition was fierce at the elite end. Team Amani\u2019s Charles Kagimu described to me how he held 450W for 45 minutes on one climb in a bid to hang on to the leading trio.<\/p>\n

This meant the Ugandan rider, a professional at Continental level, was putting out more than 7W\/kg, a phenomenal power to weight ratio<\/a>. Charles finished fourth overall despite having to room with me.<\/p>\n

Miles down the field, I was content to ride steady as I could throughout the event, mindful of not creeping into higher training zones<\/a> too early.<\/p>\n

On my first foray in the high mountains (Gospel Pass in Wales at 549m above sea level was the loftiest peak I\u2019d previously scaled), I was uncertain how my aerobic system would react to the rarified air. This caution informed my decision to swap my Canyon\u2019s 11-28t cassette<\/a> for an 11-32t to provide easier gears<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the majority of my riding in the UK, an 11-28t cassette paired with 52\/36T chainrings is ideal.<\/p>\n

I prefer a tight gear ratio while riding in a group<\/a> to avoid jumps between gears disrupting my pedal stroke.<\/p>\n

Maintaining a decent cadence<\/a> uphill requires higher speed and concomitant higher power than with a lower gear ratio, which I manage on moderately long UK climbs.<\/p>\n

But I knew I wouldn\u2019t be able to on hour-long Swiss ascents at altitude.<\/p>\n

However, to have easier gears I couldn\u2019t just put on a bigger cassette.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The stock short-cage rear derailleur had to be changed to accommodate a larger rear cassette.<\/span><\/figcaption> Steve Sayers \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The rear derailleur<\/a> on the first generation 11-speed SRAM Red eTap <\/a>groupset I was running has a maximum sprocket size of 28 teeth.<\/p>\n

The introduction of 12-speed SRAM Red eTap AXS HRD<\/a> did make SRAM road gears easier, which I could\u2019ve upgraded to.<\/p>\n

But I didn\u2019t want or need a whole new drivetrain<\/a>. Fortunately for me, SRAM recently(ish) released a new version of its 11-speed eTap rear derailleur that is compatible with larger cassettes.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
A longer cage derailleur was easy to swap in.<\/span><\/figcaption> Olivier Penpenic \/ Haute Route <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

As it is a wireless drivetrain, fitting the SRAM Red eTap A2 rear derailleur<\/a> and matching\u00a0 XG-1190 11-32t cassette is a doddle, taking a skilled mechanic less than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

The final shifting-related addition was a fresh SRAM Red eTap 11-speed chain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I cleaned<\/a> this prior to installation following BikeRadar drivetrain whisperer Simon von Bromley\u2019s guide on how to wax a bike chain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But I skipped the immersive waxing step and instead dripped on Simon-approved Smoove chain lube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One application of this wax-based chain lube<\/a> was more than enough for the Haute Route even after a soggy end to the second day.<\/p>\n

Tracking power on the long climbs helped my pacing.<\/span><\/figcaption> Steve Sayers \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

My Canyon came with Shimano Dura-Ace PD-7900 road pedals<\/a>, which I swapped in April for Favero Assioma Duo power meter pedals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But instead of riding with power<\/a>,\u00a0 I had to rely on feel and my Wahoo Tickr heart rate monitor<\/a> on the first day.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d forgotten the charging cable required to wake my Favero pedals out of travel mode (thanks again to a British rider called Mark who lent me his).<\/p>\n

A late start and high climbing<\/h2>\n
\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
Riding along the valley floor past vineyards was a joy.<\/span><\/figcaption> Haute Route <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Another rookie error was arriving at 1am in Davos, only getting into bed at 2am after unpacking and building my Canyon out of its bike box<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A late start meant I found myself attaching my number and timing chip as the rest of the field zoomed off on a very nippy Alpine morning.<\/p>\n

Ten minutes\u2019 in arrears, I set off on a solo pursuit through the frosty valley with the sweeper motorbike checking in on me.<\/p>\n

A fast 30km with the odd sweeping descent led to the foot of the Hors Cat\u00e9gorie Albula Pass.<\/p>\n

I was starting to warm up, but stupidly pulled over to shed layers having passed the timing board.<\/p>\n

With leg warmers and hat stashed in my jersey pocket, I restarted the 23km climb at 5.8 per cent average gradient.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The Albula\u2019s lower slopes were smooth and steady.<\/span><\/figcaption> Haute Route <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The higher we climbed the more the road wound in and around increasingly bare cliff faces sending the gradient into double digits and my quads into discomfort.<\/p>\n

The road past Berg\u00fcn\u2019s beautiful wooden chalets flattened before we exited the village on a smooth cobbled climb.<\/p>\n

The hairpins began in the second half of the mountain and I was grateful for my easier gears in their steep bends.<\/p>\n

During the Albula\u2019s hardest part from Kulm to Hospice \u2013 5km at 10 per cent \u2013 I rarely left the 30t sprocket.<\/p>\n

After the marvellous vista over the sparkling Lai da Palpuogna, the roadside and surface became harsher.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
A 36\/32 bottom gear was invaluable for climbing at a conservative tempo.<\/span><\/figcaption> Olivier Penpenic \/ Haute Route <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The final three kilometres averaged 6.9 per cent. That doesn\u2019t sound hard on paper, but as the air thinned, staying below my threshold heart rate was not easy.<\/p>\n

At the feed station at 2,300m, I refuelled with a banana and the satisfaction of having topped my first mountain.<\/p>\n

I refilled my empty bottle with energy drink and pocketed a couple of gels. Another Hors Cat\u00e9gorie peak, the Flu\u00ebla Pass, towered 37km in the distance.<\/p>\n

The road then zigzagged down for 8km from the Albula, proving fast and technical.<\/p>\n

The longest descent I\u2019d done was the 6.5km-western drop from the Bwlch in South Wales.<\/p>\n

Even in the wet, you don\u2019t need to be a demon descender to negotiate the mostly straight road with good visibility around its slight turns.<\/p>\n

The Albula descent couldn\u2019t be more different. The view down its squiggling S-bends to the bottom intimidated me.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
Rim brakes can still stop you on Alpine descents.<\/span><\/figcaption> Olivier Penpenic \/ Haute Route <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

I fluffed the first corners by not turning in time and having to brake hard to avoid testing the crash barrier\u2019s effectiveness.<\/p>\n

After a couple of goes, I learnt my line into the hairpin was more influential on cornering well than the stopping power of my rim brakes.<\/p>\n

Provided I pulled the levers in good time, my new Swissstop Flash Evo Black Prince carbon rim brake pads didn\u2019t squeal against my Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was swinging through the bends more rhythmically by the time I dropped into La Punt Chamues-Ch on the valley floor.<\/p>\n

The next flat 20km to Zernez helped me up my average speed (the Tour de Suisse rocketed through here at 57km\/h, according to Strava).<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
Mid-section wheels were a good compromise between weight, stability and aerodynamics.<\/span><\/figcaption> Olivier Penpenic \/ Haute Route <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

I was feeling the aero benefit of the whooshing mid-section Zipps and my Canyon\u2019s H31 aero cockpit. I find this handlebar<\/a> allows me to spend many comfortable hours in the drops.<\/p>\n

The 13km from Susch to the snow-flecked Flu\u00ebla Pass were much straighter save for a coil of corners a quarter of the way up.<\/p>\n

Its 950m of altitude gain also stayed truer to its 7 per cent average gradient. Nonetheless, a dead-straight 900m-stretch averaging 12 per cent in the final third forced me into the 32t cog.<\/p>\n

I changed to the big ring as the incline eased on top and dashed past a couple of riders I\u2019d been pursuing before the finishing line.<\/p>\n

Once I straightened up from my exhausted slump over my handlebars, I glugged a coke in the dazzling sunshine beside Lai de la Scotta lake.<\/p>\n

I donned warmer clothes from my rucksack the race organisers had transported from the start and plunged 800m down to Davos.<\/p>\n

A meat-and-potato-based Swiss lunch and very welcome massage awaited at the race village.<\/p>\n

Fateful Fatans<\/h3>\n

On the second, milder day I made it to the start in time to ride with the peloton north out of Davos.<\/p>\n

After turning west through Klosters Dorf, the speedy progress ensued to the first climb at Putz.<\/p>\n

The ascent\u2019s three kilometres averaging 8.4 per cent thinned the bunch as the racers disappeared around the first S-bend.<\/p>\n

This made descending to Schiers much more relaxing than the day\u2019s initial downhills had been while bunched together.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
I appreciated the Ultimate CF SLX\u2019s very light frame material.<\/span><\/figcaption> Olivier Penpenic \/ Haute Route <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

From Schiers came some of the event\u2019s toughest climbing. The second category Fatans is 6km long with a nearly 8 per cent average incline including 2km at 12 per cent late-on.<\/p>\n

Unlike the majority of the Haute Route Davos climbs, the road to Fatans is narrow and poorly surfaced.<\/p>\n

It doubled back and forth along farm fields then straightened and steepened on a wooded crest.<\/p>\n

The decidedly white-knuckle descent gave me no chance to regulate my heaving breathing.<\/p>\n

I could pay little attention to the twin mountain peaks on the horizon while potholes, drainage pipes and gravel greeted me around each sharp turn.<\/p>\n

My Canyon\u2019s poised handling and traction on my Continental GP5000 <\/a>tyres got me down to Fanas.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
The final kilometres to Fatans twisted and turned into the clouds.<\/span><\/figcaption> Haute Route<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Relief must\u2019ve been writ large on my face when race stewards directed me on to a flatter, wider road.<\/p>\n

An out-and-back section to Kaserne Sankt Luzisteig \u2013 a mere hillock by Swiss standards \u2013 returned us to Schiers: the start of the 20km-ascent of Partnun.<\/p>\n

The 1,837m-tall leviathan\u2019s 5.5 per cent average incline disguises two savage ramps.<\/p>\n

The first up to Pany hurt my mind as much as my legs as I grinded for a mile at over 11 per cent knowing that 12km of climbing remained.<\/p>\n

I felt like I was averaging much more than 307W for those gruelling eight minutes.<\/p>\n

Again, I credited the Canyon\u2019s low weight of 6.8kg and bottom gear for enabling me to drag myself up and up.<\/p>\n

Clouds began to encircle the mountain\u2019s already sombre sides during the barren last five kilometres from Sankt Ant\u00f6nien.<\/p>\n

Shouts of encouragement from the elite riders on their way down from the top lifted my morale \u2013 and I needed it ahead of a cruel final kilometre.<\/p>\n

The road looped like a shoe lace to the finish line at the back of the valley, seemingly steepening with each twist.<\/p>\n

My numbers to complete that last 100m of elevation \u2013 296W at 155bpm for five minutes \u2013 look modest, but I knew I\u2019d tipped out the tank.<\/p>\n

My legs nearly gave way once I stepped off my bike before grabbing a cup of steaming soup and a slice of pizza.<\/p>\n

Icy drizzle was threatening to fall heavier, so I wasted little time in descending to our bus transfer back to base.<\/p>\n

Flu\u00ebla Deville<\/h3>\n

A mountain time trial was a novel experience for me.<\/span><\/figcaption> Haute Route<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

I rolled down the start ramp of the final stage time trial with leaden legs but under brightening skies.<\/p>\n

The clouds were thinning above the rocky tips of the Flu\u00ebla Pass. The ascent from Davos, the opposite way to the first day, was 12.5km at 7 per cent average gradient.<\/p>\n

Gaining more than 800m of altitude metres up to 2,300m, this was yet another Hors Cat\u00e9gorie climb.<\/p>\n

Riding against the clock as well as the mountain heightened my competitive edge.<\/p>\n

Based on critical power<\/a> calculations, I thought I could hold about 300W and although I kept passing riders who\u2019d set off ahead, this target proved overambitious.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
Battling fellow competitors spiced up the final mountain ascent.<\/span><\/figcaption> Haute Route<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

While my heart rate crept up to threshold, my Garmin Edge 1040 Solar<\/a> showed my power dropping off as the previous two days and altitude took effect.<\/p>\n

Once the pine forest had given way to the Flu\u00ebla\u2019s now familiar scree-strewn upper slopes, a long six kilometres remained.<\/p>\n

Regular pitches up to 10 per cent gradient put me firmly in the red ahead of the stinging switchbacks on the cusp of the summit.<\/p>\n

My easier gearing allowed me to stay seated on my Fizik Antares R3 saddle <\/a>to save energy more than for aerodynamic purposes.<\/p>\n

The slope slackened enough on the Flu\u00ebla plateau to return to the big ring, which my failing legs struggled to push for the last 300m.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
My face suggests I didn\u2019t have anything left to give.<\/span><\/figcaption> Haute Route<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Finishing in between Lai Nair and Lai de la Scotta, glimmering in the high-altitude sunshine, I felt light-headed from the exhilaration and effort.<\/p>\n

I chatted to other competitors over another well-earned glass of coke before speeding back down the same road to Davos.<\/p>\n

Feeling more competent going downhill, my rim brakes required only the occasional dab. The length of this rapid descent helped me appreciate the feat of ascending it.<\/p>\n

Although I recorded a slightly positive power split, my average output dipping to 281W, I hadn\u2019t died wondering in a tough mountain time trial.<\/p>\n

I finished 26th on the day, moving up to 36th out of 185 in the final standings.<\/p>\n

I was chuffed to get through my first high-mountain outings and get a decent placing in a field filled at the front end with near-elite women and men.<\/p>\n

For context, Team Amani riders Charles Kagimu and Salim Kipkemboi (6th overall) said they held about 330W or 5.3W\/kg for the TT.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it was doubly satisfying to ride my own bike that coped superbly on steep European tarmac (retrograde rim brakes and all) with a few choice modifications.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n
