Etape - I finished

Every last man from the Guildford Peloton who started the Etape finished.

Not one casualty.

My overall time was 9:02:30.

It took 5:42:28 to do the first 93 miles and 3:20:02 to do the last 12 miles up the Ventoux!

The Ventoux was brutal, scenes like the battle of the Somme. The temperature was over 100 degrees (42C) with people lying beside the road, walking, and generally suffering

More to follow when I get a chance

How did you do?

Congraultions. Sounds horrific (but fun!)

Fantastic Duncan. It was so hot on Ventoux wasn't it. The forest was hell. So what's next?
