... meant the wind stopped. it was soooooo BAD. Most of the ride was downhill, a good thing i thought to finish the trip. So how hard was it......... on the flat i was pushing my uphill gears which are usually reserved for tough up hills obviously, not just for sections of the ride, but yes, all day until Toulouse.

Mont Ventoux
We awoke to a beautiful, sunny day which would have been perfect for riding. Today, however, was going to be a driving day towards the base of our final Col: Mt. Ventoux.
