A crazy day for cyling, very hot, sunny and humid! 38 degrees when set off from Susa.
13 miles climbing at 9.2 per cent. The final 5 miles of the climb were on a gravel track - madness! Refreshed with madelines and bananas. We went up valley to Sestriere for pizza and over the Montgenevre into France and descent to Briancon.
While the others went to shower and chill I went up the Col d'Izoard to try out another legendary tour climb - tough but incredible scenery and some nice Dutch cyclists took my pic at the top. Lovely descent to Briancon again and dinner with beer.
Today 76.86 miles. Not sure how much climbing, will have to work it out, probably over 3k metres. Last day tomorrow - Galibier and Alpe d'Huez. Hope also to do 2 alpes.
No beans on toast yet but some great food.
