Quick run following the epic Col d'Areches last week. Must better times on the climb with a VAM around 700m/h - difficult for me to do better as the gradient is very uneven. 29m30 for the climb from St Romain up to the col du Mont Thou, max HR of 179. The "wall" in Mont Thou village was easier. So some progress over the summer.
Chilly, 7C at the summit. Had long sleeves and full fingered gloves and a light hat under my helmet but still cold. As it was around 6pm lots of mad Lyon commuters on city bikes.
