An idea - Ventoux

No matter how thirsty, can you hold that thought for 650k? The mind wanders...

Just repeat!!
You'd be amazed. I've ridden the legs off people on the way back from a FNRttC just for bog standard Kronenbourg in the fridge and the stuff for next week is top quality German stuff!

Hey, this is Martin we're talking about here!

Good luck on LEL, Martin!

Ok at this stage this is really just an idea. By this time next month, I should almost have finished LEL and I'm looking for a new challenge. I've always wanted to ride up a real mountain and Ventoux seems a suitable candidate.

I'm thinking of next June/July. Train to Avignon, short hop to Bedoin on day one. Ride up on day two, day 3 relax a bit, day 4 come home.

Piece of cake?

One of my workmates is doing this on Sunday. He a bit touched as he seems to like doing all these Mountains that appear on the TDF. We are going to monitor him on Map my ride to make sure he isn't cheating.
