Woke today with a bit of a bee in my bonnet. I was feeling a bit slack after not going up the Ventoux 3 times. So decided to give the Alp d Huez a full go and TT up. Hoping for a better performance with my new compact contracts. I was hoping to go under 1 hour. I’d heard somewhere that this was the time to do. Took a bit of an effort but got up in 58min. Also went up to the airport. They have a really short steep runway. Was quite a treat watching someone come in to land. Would love to give NBK a try there.
Got back to the house and saw that the other guys had left to ride up the Alp d Huez from the less well known side the Col de Serrenne. I was feeling good so I “chased” after them. WOW what a magnificent ride. The climb gets quite testy towards the end but the scenery is spectacular. One of the highlights of the week.
Met up with the rest at the top and cycled down for a second time that day.
