Description

Went via the Church, which was a bit unusual as it is very very steep but I'd forgotten the correct turn, anyway it was shorter. Climb took 56m29 for a VAM of 822, which seems ok. I guess the 1 hour VAM is low because once at the col the only way is down. I thin Strava's figure is wrong, 774 for 56m21 is a VAM of 844!

Very busy at the restaurant at the col, people taking advantage of the last days of summer before the dreaded rentre.
