Great! Above Plan Lachat on Galibier is epic. On a tandem? Wow!

I didn't know that monument was there above the Galbier sign - I'll have to return :)

FYI, The Lautaret sign is just to the left as you turn left towards Briancon

Be sure to have on decent shoes when you go up to the top of Galibier via the gravel hiking path. I had my mountain-bike shoes on and felt a tad unsafe coming down from the top.
