Etape du Tour 2009

I’ve just discovered that this year’s Etape du Tour will ride the route from Montelimar to the Mont Ventoux summit. I was lucky enough to get a guaranteed place via one of the US agents to still have a couple of spots open. The ride is about 107 US miles (172 km) and includes a number of climbs, culminating with the 1,912 meter ascent of Mont Ventoux from Bedoin. Here is a link to find out more:

I’ve been back on the CompuTrainer this week, and feeling MUCH better after my bout with the crud. Working towards a new Threshold test ride on Tuesday to see where I stand. I’ll post the results.


Hope everyone enjoyed the Tour of California--it’s great to have a race of this caliber here in the US, and even better that it rolls through my backyard of Pasadena! Happy riding.
