Join Frank & Andy Schleck on one of their favorite endurance training routes. The 95km route starts close to their home in Luxembourg. We join them on the descent down to the flat fertile Mosel river valley that denotes the border with Germany. We follow the Mosel river border north with a few short steep climb intervals through the vineyards that flank the river before heading west into the heart of the Grand Duchy. A perfect mix of rolling hills, thick forest, quiet rustic villages & lush green farmland await. Towards the end the Schleck brothers add a little sting in the tail to the ride, taking you up a steep, narrow local climb they refer to as the Alpe d'huez of Luxembourg! Once at the top its a fairly easy spin down to the finish in Ersang while Andy & Frank give an great demonstration of just how effective aerodynamic positioning can be.
