I ask because I get them muddled up. I was trying to work out which one has a climb before the finish. But maybe that one the climb is quite a bit before the finish? Like climb, rollers, a few left and rights and then the finish?
That course…the first time up the climb feels a lot easier than the last time doesn’t it!

I think I’m going to struggle. But I’ll race today and then maybe not on Tuesday, on the premise there’s a chance.

If you have to ask I’m going to assume the answers no 👍
If YOU have to ask then I am assuming that you didn’t read my post 👍😁

Better to assume your post was poorly worded. That way you can work on it for next time 👍👍
I should’ve known you never do the whole climb to be fair… 🖕😄

I’m here all day if you need anymore help 👍
It does, but I felt strong, surprised I got such a lead and was holding it.
Boom the power of a pack just swamped me, crushed my attempt to latch on, coasted into the finish

Yeah, but I said I ride up to chalet Reynard so why were you asking me if I did the “whole”climb?

In the world of semantics, which you seem most determined to inhabit on this not so fine day el boborino! It may pay to be more precise with your wording. Unless you are suggesting by ‘it’ that we race up chalet Reynard (which for those who don’t know, is a cafe and souvenir shop near, but not at the summit of mont ventoux). Which judging by its somewhat building like nature, might be a slight challenge to race up on a road bike!
My question wasn’t did you “ride the whole climb” as you’ve suggested, I merely asked if you made it to the top.
Like I said bud, I’m here all day 👍👍!

On a side note it does seem a little short sighted to just race up to chalet raynard and stop there. And a little long winded to race the entire climb as the time gaps would be crazy.
But a race up the epic kom is always good because if you include the descent or has a bit of something for everyone.

Bloody ambitious to try and attack from there fair play! 👍
