An empty mountain road with the hairpins visible from above, or a col sign. Cold light. Again, no people.
Not a town - the whole ride, and the land it crossed.
Too wide for streets, so the land itself becomes the model. Roads and rivers cut into the plate, then grass, hills, rock and snow rising off it - so a col reads as a col.
The steepest section at eye level, so the layered contour steps and the snow line are both visible.
The model exists, is printed and is on the shelf. You supply only the words for your Record, and it ships in days. Grouped by range - Alps, Pyrenees, Dolomites, home.
The standard cyclists routes are being printed and photographed. In the meantime your own route can be built today, from your own file — which is the same model, made for one person.
Elevation leads, not time. A rider who has done Ventoux quotes 1,600 metres before they quote a duration, so the Record does the same.
Upload the GPX from your watch, from Strava or from the organiser. The engine reads your actual track and builds a Terrain model from it — the same model as the standard routes, made for one person. You see it before you pay.
Example: Mont Ventoux, 21.4 km
