Increasing Performance

stats of the week: run 19 km, cycled 157 km, gym 3 h

The good news is that I am now capable to climb 1,000 meters of ascent on the bike without too much exhaustion. The weather is going to be hot meanwhile, cycling in the late afternoon is no longer possible with degrees well over 30°c. We still have one week in Mollans, with a prospect of nearly 40°c, luckily when we will be leaving for less hot Germany. Plans for our last week are now to try the ascent of Mont Ventoux from Bédoin which is the classic and toughest route and will be the route for the Tour de France Femmes in August.

Photos: The view downhill from Col d'Ey in direction of Buis les Baronnies


Mirabel-aux-Baronnies is a nice little village with all kind of shops


The 500-year-old bridge of Les Pilles was destroyed before end of World War II


The view from Col de Propiac is always a reward.
