Cycling the Alps

[Cycling the Alps]

Hi,
I love cycling the beautifull passes of the alps. I started to put very detailed information of each pass on a website. www.cyclingthealps.com
You will find 3D tours, bikemap, video, pictures, streetview(if available) etc.
Have a look and please tell me what you are missing?
What kind of information are you looking for if you plan to cycle a pass in the alps.

Cheers

Is this the same site that's been around for years, just redesigned? If so, great job! Amazing resource.

Thanx, It is not the same site, I started about a year ago with this site. I want to cycle all +- 480 paved passes of the alps. I was missing a website to prepare myself before cycling a pass in the alps. That is why I started to create this website that bundles all information about a pass

Overview of the Alp passes

Hi there,

I am creating a central place for all the information of 480 Alp passes.

Use the tooltip for a short description of the pass
Use the right mouse button to get direct access to a lot of information.

Post your experiences on the pass if you want to.

It is pretty cool no more links, just all the information in one place

Website explanation!

Hi everybody!

Let me write a short explanation of how this website works.
The website http://www.cyclingthealps.com shows pictures, video's and much more.
Let me explain the website interface because I think it is pretty cool what I did.

First of all there are three different cyclist icon's
Black --> already cycled
Green --> planning this year
Red --> nothing done with yet (only Zoom in and Zoom out)

I wanted to create a website without links. All the information is available with the right mouse button.

Using the right mouse button on the black and the green cyclists and this shows you following possibilities.

Zoom in --> Zooms in
Toggle route --> loads a route with pictures geotagged
Video --> Our cycling video
Pictures --> Our cycling pictures
Bikemap --> Distance, climbing meters
Streetview --> Opens the streetview if available (Beatenberg, Grosse Scheidegg, Petit St. Bernard
Motobike video --> Show a motorbike driving this pass
Fly into --> Shows the route in 3D (Latest version of google earth needed, or the google earth plugin)
3D tour --> Only external link in this website. Starts a 3D tour (Latest version of google earth needed, or the google earth plugin) Not working in FF due to problems with translation thing of google
Zoom out --> Zooms out and show you the passes nearby. Good for selecting a new pass.

Use the tooltip for a short explanation about the pass.

Have you been cycling the pass by yourself click on the pass (only black and green at the moment) and post your commends, your own video's or whatever you want.

That is about it!

One more thing hit the F11 then you get this website in full screen! (like this very much)

Cheers

Neat. You remind me of Will's blog Cycling Challenge. Now that's one hell of a site. http://www.cycling-challenge.com/

The colorful adventures of Jobst Brandt in the Alps are also of significance. http://www.trentobike.org/Countries/Europe/Tour_Reports/Tour_of_the_Alps/2008/index.html

This week, I'm publishing my recent interview with him so stay tuned. http://cozybeehive.blogspot.com/2010/03/learning-jobst-brandt-part-i.html

Updates

I made some great updates.

You can now experience a lot of things in fullscreen! I really like the 3D tour in fullscreen, it gives you a great impression of the surroundings. Also pictures, streetview and conversation are available in fullscreen now.
We cycled Nufenen, st-Gotthard and Oberalp while it was snowing a few weeks ago. See the great pictures using your right mouse button. You can leave easily comments on the website, like if you encounter any problems or you are missing a pass. Or tell your own experience of a pass by just clicking on it.
