Life through the lens...

By ValC

No mean feet!

You too would feel like this if you had just cycled one of the most notorious climbs in cycling history.
Picture taken in Malaucene this lunchtime.
These men had cycled up Mt Ventoux. 6,273 ft.
In the Tour de France last year Chris Froome won the stage to the top.
He cycled 242 km from Givors. These four had cycled from Bedoin, to the top and down to Malaucene, not quite as far, but in 30c temperatures they were very glad to cool off by the fountain.
This is a real cycling centre, and there are photos of Chris Froome in all the bike shops.
Let's hope he is lucky again this year!

After another leisurely lunch, we are now back having a rest!
So glad of our shady terrace and a cool house.
