Sunday saw the mass start race up the climb to Bay from Passy. Nearly 8km and 380M of climbing, summer has returned to Chamonix and its a hot morning. Different approach this week with over an hour on the bike before the race. It worked! People that beat me by 3 1/2Mins on the Colombiere last week only beat me by 30 seconds this week!
Thoughts now turn to the final race this year, our own local Houch'hard up the climb to Les Houches through Vaudagne on the 5th September. Also, getting some long miles in the legs for the upcoming trip to Mont Ventoux at the end of September helping to guide for Julie at Ridestrong Bike Tours.
