Description

Some stats to illustrate how much slower I am than last year

Col de la Poya 44m15 (39m06 last year)
Marie de la Combe 25m31s (22m34 last year)

Over 10% down. VAM around 750m/h at the moment.

Pleasant ride into work over a nice little mountain pass.

Conditions

It rained heavily overnight but the roads were completely dry at 7am. Which was nice. A bit cooler but ok to descend in a cycling shirt. The road is closed at Domene but you can just squeeze by on a bike. This meant no traffic.
