Only this week we got to climb the Ventoux then see the Dauphiné come by to finish on top of the mountail. Christophe Moreau was talking smack in the papers on Wednesday and it looks like he made good on his promise.
Being on top of Mt. Ventoux is like looking out of the window of an airplane. Yesterday it was like looking out of the window of a moving airplane. Super windy, 50°, and cloudy. It was probably 80° at the bottom. We climbed up once again from the Bedouin side as the race would later that day. Fans were already camped out and some cheered us on in our pretend attempt at glory. All the clients who attempted made it, save one who got into the car in the forest. Once at our viewing spot 600 meters to go, we changed into warm dry clothes and picnic'd. Jacking and Goot came up earlier with van, car, tables, chairs, food, drink, and our daybags. The race was a bit behind schedule so we did not get back on our bikes for the descent until about 6:00 p.m. Long day, but I am glad we did it yesterday because it is pouring rain today.
The podcast is delayed because I don't have a quiet spot with internet connection to do it. We'll get to it soon.
