Yesterday was tough & getting to the hotel was a challenge, with narrow cobbles, pedestrians & tourists taking photos, an average 14% climb, complete with twists & turns. I couldn’t get clipped onto the bike fast enough slipped & almost fell off, saved myself but had to walk the last 100 metres, so embarrassing!!! My pride was hurt and the cyclist behind me cursed (understandably). 🚴♀️🥵🤬Apparently they don’t use these streets on the Tour de France as they are too narrow!! (and imo very steep) 😱
Today I am feeling incredibly proud of myself! I climbed Mont Ventoux one of the Epic cycling climbs, it wasn’t fast, it wasn’t pretty & I had lots of stops for drinks but I really don’t care I got there eventually, I am not ashamed to admit, I got very emotional at the top, called Chris and cried!!! I sang to M People song, “what have you done today to make you feel proud” 😊. I stopped at Chalet Reynard for a pizza on the way down & now I’m off for a sports massage
à bientôt xx
