Ok....so that really hurt. 10900 feet of climbing in 85 miles ... total of over 20000 feet and 150 miles in 2 days and we're just "warming up?". After climbing over the highest pass in the Alpes we've settled into a small French village in the valley-crammed as much pasta into us as possible and will try to sleep in preparation for more of the same.
Tomorrow brings the 2011 Tour de France stage described as "murderous". Perhaps you think we're silly...and maybe we are... but what goes up must come down and the descents are indeed blistering - a total rush.
Tomorrow my brain will feature the repetitive mantra of "shut up legs" and with any luck, they'll listen!
