Etape 2009 – we’ve arrived
We’ve finally arrived in Provence having survived 48 hours on a coach, a force 8 channel crossing and a night in Paris.
Not much of note on the journey but it served to catch up on reading and sleep.
Nearing our destination we got our first glimpse of Mont Ventoux. It dominates the landscape from every angle. It’s white tower visible against the blue sky. It both insipired and humbled me.

It was an awesome event. I’ve updated the blog so I hope you enjoy reading about it. It took me a while but with all that stunning scenery out there updating my blog came second.

The Bike

Trek Madone 5.0 (2007) - I love this bike, some would say too much with the amount of time I spend maintaining it! But if I'm going to be going 50mph down a mountain I want to know its in good shape.
