At 1911m

The reason for being in Provence for the weekend was my husbands crazy idea to cycle the challenging "Mont Ventoux race".
The day before the race we decided to take the car and drive the route they should cycle the next day. From 25 degree by the pool till 4 degree at 1911!
First I fell poor for the guys for the steep 22km to the top, but when we drove down on the other side of the mountain I panicked a bit.
Narrow roads and no secure fence!!

Luckily it ended well and all 4 lads cycled safely over the finish line.
But are they ready for the next years challenge?
I'm definitely ready for a new trip to Provence
 so count me in for the support team :-)
