a wee leg shaker

TdMB minus 55 days

Bike of choice     : Kap
Distance              : 27Km
metres climbed    : +250m

Went out for a spin in the late evening sunshine to shake the stress out of the legs but ended up getting a bit carried away and thrashed it hard .... there was stuff in my head that needed removing. Descending hairpins in the fading sun sorted that out nicely. Damn it felt gooooooood :O)

TdMB confidence soared today - as reported earlier I've got Rob joining me from Martigny to the Col de Grand Saint-Bernard and now Sam from Bike Village and Ash of Trail Addiction / Trans-Provence fame have offered to join me for the closing climbs from Bourg over the cormet de Roseland and on to the finish in Les Saises, or did they say they plan to throw rotten tomatoes from the roadside ?

Whatever ... magical peeps they are, look them up if your ever wondering how to spend a holiday with your bike in the Alps.

Woot! Excellent news! The Cormet is a spectacular climb but not too hard.

We did it on "day aff" from BV in 2008. Despite drinking La Vache restaurant dry of Cotes du Rhone the night before I still enjoyed it. Just hope you get good weather and make it there in daylight.

I'm sure with Sam on your wheel you'll burn up it.
