Small world! Martin's a top guy and looked after the Ron well.
Agree with @HoKe, scenery was fantastic and I've never enjoyed myself so much on a bike. June mileage in the Kent/Surrey hills paid off and I was very pleased with Sunday's ride. Overall time 6:30, rank 550 out of ~11,000. There was also a King of the Mountains classification, taking your cumulative time over Col de Vars and Izoard, where I ranked 171. Very happy! :)
I have no excuse than my poor lack of fitness and commitment to track that road bike is another level of pain, especially with an hour of pure climbing which is most people's book is hell!
My time was 7:21, I think after this I will stick to turning left and club/rub runs! ;)
