M is for Mt Ventoux: another 30 year memory

Fred and I so enjoy watching the Tour de France each year and Mt Ventoux in Province is one of the outstanding challenges that face the cyclists,  it is known as the Beast of Province.

It is windy, bald, bleak and coming back after 30 years it is still a remarkable giant of a mountain at 1912m and I am in awe of anyone running or cycling up its steep switchbacks.
Even sitting in the car tired me out.

Summit in sight on Mt Ventoux.
