Monday

Three years ago today, I made the climb up the Galibier in the French Alps.  2 was my support.  That bike was a beast.  No Granny gear!  The last 10 kilometers were as hard as it gets.

We were staying in Turin in northwest Italy, and it took almost two hours of driving through the mountains to get to Briancon, a French ski town, which was the base of the climb.  2 did great work driving the rental car up the narrow, winding road to keep track of my progress and to meet me at the summit. 

It was a memorable day. 

I'll do a real entry tomorrow.
