The day before day 1. Lots of bike nerd stuff throughout the day. See Joerg (middle) and Toby (right) below. They're our support for the week. Toby is mid-course for bottle and clothing changes. Joerg at the daily finish with recovery drink and directions to the night's hotel.
Max arrived late last night. He's been roughing it in Provence for the last 4 months, training out of a town at the base of Ventoux. We rolled up the initial 350 meter climb we see out of the gates on day 1. Expect a hammer fest. Good to know what to expect.
I'm in white and black coming down the climb. Crazy fast and technical descents over here.
Cafe is how we ended the ride. Howie and Philip of Team Wedgewood in the shot with Max "I haven't cut my hair since landing in Europe" and my race partner, Graeme.
Time for a good sleep hoping for an uneventful day 1 morning.
