About Alto de L’Angliru from La Vega
Alto de L’Angliru is one of the most feared ascents in professional cycling. With gradients of more than 23 percent, this ride is a beast, a beast that is very hard to tame. In 2002, at the Vuelta, the combination of steepness and rain turned Angliru into an inferno. Team cars stalled on their way up and some couldn’t even restart. David Millar, having been hit by a team car, refused to cross the finishing line in protest (and thereby dropping out of the Vuelta), cursing: ‘We’re not animals and this is inhuman’. And Spanish Oscar Sevilla chime in: ‘It is an inhumane climb’. Despite the inhumanness of this climb Vuelta’s race director Enrique Franco defends the use of Angliru and says: ’A Vuelta a Espana without L'Angliru is like a marathon of only five kilometers’. With grades over 23 percent, very few turbo trainers can actually replicate the steepness of this climb. The first six kilometers are doable, but then things start to get mad and the average grade raises to over 13 percent. No wonder this segment of the ride is called ‘parte bestial’ on Strava.

Adding music to the ride:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is awesome. But when it comes to music opinions are very mixed. This is why we do not add music to our rides. We simply do not want to spoil your ride with music you do not like. But it is quite simple to add it yourself. Open an extra browser tab. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, RU-vid, etc…) and pick the music you like and enjoy the ride...
