Since the site is at a standstill I thought I would inform you that
Oege Hiddema won "Les Ballons Vosgiens" the previous week-end.
He has nice pictures on his website

I also noticed that Olivier Huts did a fantastic Oetztaler, finishing
in 8 h 05mn.
What was it like Olivier? weather? etc.
I wish I could have done it, it was to be the highlight of my biking
season, but I had to cancel due to other commitments.

As for myself I went down to "Les routes du Ventoux" yesterday as I
needed to take revenge for a miserable experience on that terrible
mountain last June.
I climbed it much better this time ( but from Malaucène instead of Bédoin).
Cheers
François
