Wow well done that man.
I have always fancied the Ventoux, but I think it would kill me.
I must admit I keep thinking that if I keep commuting like I do, I think I could get up Alpe D'Huez, and the Col du Telegraph, but I think the Galibier and ventoux would finish me off !!
Although if them lovely ladies were at the end waiting for me like for the stage winners I am sure I could muster some more effort !!
Makes the Snake pass over Glossop look like a trip to the shops !

It's not that bad, took me 1hr 28min.
Mind you, that was just from Bedoin - straight up and down. Doing it after 150km of rolling riding is a very, very different matter. Off down to my Dad's Provencal bolt hole in 3 weeks and will probably have another go. Can't wait. It's a great climb.
