I feel quite inadequate Sharon. Even a few hills was enough for me - I'd never be able to do what you're doing. Definitely a few quid from me in sponsorship. Maud XX

Dear Lovely Tog Peeps!
Well we got there on Tuesday the 10th in the afternoon and though "Booger it! Lets do it now"
So we got wrapped up and set off!
It was fresh at the bottom and blinkin' freezing at the top! You could see yer breath!
There are 21 turns to the Alp D'Huez (all helpfully numbered just to make it worse!) starting from 21 you work up.
Turns 21 and 20 are really long and very steep (12%) and I had to stop half way to the 1st bend! What a wuz!
At the 1st turn I had a double stitch and was making bad raspy noises. I went on and got to the 2nd turn and chewed a magic bean!
Then I found I still had 2 more stupid gears and it became far less wheezy!
I beat last years time (only just!) and then I walked up and back down on the Thursday and then cycled back up the bliddy thing on the Sunday!
Hurrah!
I will post some pix in a bit!
Thanks for those who sponsored us and for those that haven't - there is still plenty of time to go clicky on the link below!
