Just finished my to-do list for the trip. Started to look at the map for the ride, in detail. Can't wait to ride through all of the villages and ride along the fields of lavender. Every day I am thinking about the long uphill climb of Mont Ventoux, its altitude and the weather in Southern France. My ride this morning was mixed with long uphill climbs and then long stretches of passing fields. The sun was very strong this morning and my legs hurt from all of the riding and swimming this weekend but it does not matter. Riding up the hill, I went as slow as possible and imagined that I was climbing Mont Ventoux. Imagining the sun beating down as I climb the long, long, gradual climb to the summit and how amazing it will feel to get to the top...The Alpe d'Huez is the most famous climb in the world and Mont Ventoux is second. This will be the most challenging course I have ever done.
