L'Alpe d'Huez day

The morning clouds are burning off and sunny, blue sky has appeared. The day is warm but not too hot; a good day to cycle.

Today is the day to go up Alpe d'Huez. I can't believe how nervous and keyed up I am this morning. That will disappear once I get on the bike and I must remember not to go to hard or too fast at the beginning of the climb.

Wish me luck and the good sense to stop and rest along the way.

Jim, I'd sure like to be with you-even if I couldn't bike at least I could run the support vehicle!

I was very keyed up the morning and night before I rode up Mt. Washington, no real reason to be, but when it's ride that's been dreamed of for a while your head gets the better of you.
