I just thought I’d share. Last weekend I finally climbed Mt Ventoux, all 5030 feet. I was afraid to try it for a year. It took me 108 minutes. It certainly isn’t the fastest but I finally conquered the climb. It was easier than I expected when all was said and done. The ride fine was pleasureable. I ended up riding the rest of the French terrain/loop after the descent for one of my best tides ever.
