I have a terrible habit of just riding till the hill ends. Which sounds fine. But up here you can find yourself on a washed out mud trail, trying to sqeeze every once of traction out of Your horribly expensive tubs, and trying not to think about descending over exposed rock on carbon rims.......
I then og home, create it as a segment, and do it again. Instant KOM.
There's more than one way up. Plus where do you measure too, the entrance to to the village itself, or the actual Tour stage finish?
Don't ever do a segment search for Alpe d'Huez though, there are hundreds, many of which aren't anywhere near France.
