Wow!
Toady 4 of us rode La Coironese Cyclosportive out in the Ardeche. Well it was only 114km long but the 2300m of ascent should have given us a clue. One of the hardest rides for a long time. In terms of suffering, up there with La Ventoux.
However! (and I'm not making excuses) I haven't been 100% for a few weeks and the anti biotics for my Acute Maxillary Sinusitus and the fact that breathing is quite hard at the moment played a little part in the fact I kept getting dropped on the cols.
Nevertheless, 73rd and a gold medal in a time of 3h 55m 04s wasn't too bad.
Ventoux tomorrow!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! this is our new blog for the 2007 season.
We are now settled in at the new house in Faucon.
We have already had our first cyling guests and over Easter the place was full of some of the North of England's best rock climbers.
A little bit to much drinking and fine food over the last few weeks. However the cycling season has now kicked off and we have a cyclosportive on Saturday in the Ardeche called La Coironese. 120km with 2000metres of climbing involved.
Last Monday I was persuaded by Dave to go up to The Vercors Regional Parc and climb Mont Aiguille.
