... in Alpe d'Huez.
The ride up to the hotel on the transfer bus was interesting, and my first real feel for what I've let myself in for. Initial reaction : it's steeper than I thought !
By the time we got to the top I was deathly silent and white as a sheet. I am now properly scared.
I have a lot of friends who have ridden the Etape, and plenty who have ridden the Alpe d'Huez climb. To any good club rider it is quite do-able..... I just don't think of myself as a good club rider, more a "normal person" who happens to be a member of a cycling club. Add to that my general inability to climb hills and we've got a problem.
Just need to get on with it. As my friend Kelvin says : "stop being a big fairy"
