Up the Ventoux

Today, the whole crew of cyclists headed up the Ventoux (except me). I got in some great cycling earlier in the week and was too much of a chicken to take on the Ventoux. But, Rob, Jack, Jo and Hannah headed up.

Here they are, on their way.

Making that last push to the top. I've done this stretch before, and it is downright scary. No tree cover or grass and strong winds.

Rob decided to take a photo of the photographer! Photographers place themselves on the route, take photos of the cyclists and hand you a business card with a website so you can buy the photo if you want. Pretty good business.

Hannah's almost there!

Here come Chris and Jo. Chris and his wife Becky met up with us in Provence. They also came for the tour. Chris is an avid cyclist. Becky is too -- but not when she's 5 months pregnant.
Rob and Chris at the summit. Wondering why Rob is in none of the other photos. He was cycling up and down the mountain taking pictures of everyone else. Yep, he's in such good shape that this summit is nothing to him.
