The memory has ironed out the ascent of the 21 bends to the top of Alpe D'Huez at just under 6000ft. The smell of burning clutch permeates the nostrils as you search for your next breath.
Today was a refresher. It was steep. It was hot. It was humid . And it was breezy!
The col du CArnock may be steep but Alpe D'huez is relentless. The prize was a cool beer watching the Tour stars do their stuff on the Bar TV.
On a positive note, no precipitation to deal with on the descent.
Tomorrow is another day. Day 1 of the altitude training for the Col du Carnock complete but it was tough
