The climb profile above is from north side of Col du Portalet, it looks similar, but is more than two times longer and higher.

Half the distance and half the climbing, @Aleman must be getting soft in his old age.

Don't know how that happened ... Fixed now

No, from the North side it starts in France

If you think I'm going soft wait until the Ventoux rides are published!!!

@Aleman

58:09.

I sort of enjoyed that. Mainly because the pain didn't go on for as long as some recent rides.

The tiles are hacked off, the chasing out and the electrics are done, the walls have been made good and have been painted along with the ceiling and the kitchen is nearly fitted, the pond is dug and my garden looks like the council tip, maybe I can get back to something easier like the Goat League for a while now.

55:00 for me please @Aleman

Brought home by the Kings of Leon tonight, Legs on Fire, at least I think that's what they were saying.

 

[Aleman]

Well thats the Portaloo finished, was hoping for about 8 Minutes quicker, it's scary just how quickly you loose fitness when you have a short break ... enforced in my case. Could only just stay ahead of my coach ... and even then I had to turn the power down by 15W

0:53:35 for me
