0:00:01.920,0:00:04.920
[Frédérick] We’re a group of friends 
and work colleagues at the same time.

0:00:04.960,0:00:08.680
Every year, we try to go away for a short 
one-week cycling trip. A passion

0:00:08.680,0:00:10.560
that brings us all together.

0:00:10.560,0:00:13.280
We’ve already been with several other 
organizations

0:00:13.280,0:00:15.160
But honestly, it's something else.

0:00:15.160,0:00:15.880
It's harder.

0:00:15.880,0:00:17.600
It’s professional compared to what we’ve done before.

0:00:17.600,0:00:19.360
It’s professional compared to what we’ve done before.

0:00:19.560,0:00:22.640
It’s really on another level compared to previous trips.

0:00:23.000,0:00:26.000
Nothing to do with what we’ve known before.

0:00:26.480,0:00:28.640
215 watts for one kilometer.

0:00:28.640,0:00:31.160
Once it starts getting serious

0:00:31.160,0:00:33.560
[Gilles] This week is a true sporting adventure

0:00:33.560,0:00:35.280
that requires quite a bit of energy

0:00:35.760,0:00:37.080
But it's also a human adventure.

0:00:37.080,0:00:38.920
We’ve got a great group, 
we laugh a lot,

0:00:38.920,0:00:41.920
and that’s the main thing

0:00:42.640,0:00:44.320
[Frédérick] It’s beautiful,
such stunning views.

0:00:44.320,0:00:48.320
But it's demanding because it's
hilly, it goes up, it goes up

0:00:48.320,0:00:51.480
hard, it goes down, it goes up, it goes
down again.

0:00:51.960,0:00:54.960
It's a bit of a roller coaster, but
that's what we love.

0:00:54.960,0:00:56.680
Doing only flat rides

0:00:56.680,0:00:58.920
gets boring after a while.

0:00:58.920,0:00:59.800
That's what we like.

0:01:02.400,0:01:08.120
[Mathieu] We discovered the power meter at the camp, 
it made us want to ride again.

0:01:08.120,0:01:11.840
I had stopped cycling to focus on trail running,
but now, working with power,

0:01:11.840,0:01:13.320
it’s really great.

0:01:13.320,0:01:14.840
[Marvin] And nutrition too

0:01:15.080,0:01:18.800
before, we used to go out for a two-hour race,
with just water!

0:01:18.800,0:01:21.800
That’s what we’d been taught since we were kids.

0:01:22.200,0:01:25.920
Now it really makes me want to learn more about that.

0:01:26.760,0:01:31.440
And you can see it even through all the stages,
recovery isn’t the same.

0:01:31.440,0:01:34.440
We finish less exhausted.
It’s actually quite impressive.

0:01:44.760,0:01:46.960
[Gilles] I’ve been riding with a power meter
since last year,

0:01:46.960,0:01:48.760
but I didn’t really know how to use it.

0:01:48.760,0:01:51.400
So obviously, now we ride more efficiently

0:01:51.400,0:01:54.600
And all the advice, 
whether it’s for nutrition or hydration,

0:01:54.600,0:01:56.160
you can clearly see it makes a difference.
