Getting a rest day on the
second day seemed a little bit unfair, but given the day before I wasn’t
complaining! Still, as the legs were relatively fresh, I decided to take the
opportunity to climb the Ventoux again…
This time, however, the plan
was to go over one of the easier sides – the ascent from Malaucene. In some
respects it was a little bit of a reccie for my planned Cingles du Mont Ventoux
ride in September.
The climb from Malaucene is
definitely easier than from Bedoin, it may be longer but the average gradient
is less and it is nowhere near as relentless. The views are perhaps more
spectacular too.
An enjoyable climb, with
great views and a fast descent into Bedoin was rounded off by a lovely long
lunch with the Linklaters team before a well deserved afternoon nap.
