Virtual Col du Tourmalet

Watching the Tour de France with particular enthusiasm this year with Bradley Wiggins and other British interest.

Training at present so I can get over my fractured hip - and eager to get back lost fitness so I've been using a Tacx trainer which you can program with any course.

So seemed a good idea to cycle the Col du Tourmalet at the same time as the boys :-)
19k of 8-10% unrelenting climb. They did it in under an hour, took me 2 hours 20 but good training I think.
I'll certainly sleep tonight :-)
