Away for 3 weeks
-
It's that time of the year. Tomorrow my bike and I are escaping to the tallest, twistiest, most painful vomit inducing mountains my sadistic mate in Australia can line up for us for 3 weeks of cycling in France. I will be out of contact for this time apart from phone, blackberry, laptop, email, and walkie-talkies. But apart from that I'll be completely isolated. I've got a ton of email backlogged I'm trying to get through and also a bunch of TODOs that I will try and get organised into something Elina, Dmitry, Thiru, Olga and Gennady can work through if they have a chance. Please don't break anything.
cheers, Chris Maunder

Hamsters have a gestation period of 16 to 22 days. You have factored this into your plans, haven't you? BTW, I am freaking jealous of your vacation plans. Damn, if only I was twenty years younger, 30 pounds lighter, and single.

Yep, plus the always-fun-for-a-laugh Alpe D'Huez, Hautecamp, Tourmelet, and the Col du Whimper.

What kind of gearing do you guys use for Alpe D'Huez, or Tourmelet (I can't picture the others, so I'll just assume they are similar in difficulty)? Have a great trip and have fun!

Enjoy, I'm just back home from there. The weather is really good (28 °C) and almost no wind (except on the top of course). Almost all the tourists also just left the country, so it's all yours!

That means all we need to dodge are the Germans in their vans and the insane Italians in their Alfa's. We've got no chance of dodging the French drivers but they are so nice anyway so it doesn't matter. Woohoo!

In deference to my knees I have a compact crank and a 12-27. I'll be sitting in the 25 for the first part of the ascent on the Alpe then see how we go from there. I know - pretty soft but my aim is to crack the hour mark for the ascent which I reckon I've got about zero chance of doing ;)

We might be able to bend the map a little. I'll discuss it with my co-consipirator. Actually we're doing: Riems = a little champagne action (plus seeing some old WW1 site where the Aussies fought) Tours = a little Chateux action Bordeaux = a lot of wine action It's all about preparation ;) Rest? I'm going to need a holiday after this!

Don't feel bad! You're going to go up the full 21 switchbacks, right? Most people couldn't even make up 1 or 2 of them, much less 21!
