Finished!!!
Last day - set out from Briancon, 20k up to the Lauteret then the famous Galivier - hard and steep near the top but incredible views down both valleys.
Had my only scary moment of the week on descent. Nearly went into the back of a Renault but managed to escape OK in the end.
Lovely long drop down the valley to Chambon Barrage apart from the tunnels! Decided to climb 2 Alpes and pay respects to Mr Pantani. Nice quiet climb up and descent back to Barrage. Met some of the others for lunch before going down to Bourg d'Oisans and final climb up Alpe d'Huez. Agony all the way up due to heat and gradient, but made it with the support of the team sat cheering at a bar near the top!
Timed myself at 1 hr 18. 76 miles for the day. A coke then a few beers to recover after whilst watching every one else finish!
