Uphill to Ventoux

I notice that Le Tour goes to Mont Ventoux tomorrow. Not for the fainthearted, this is a tough climb. Even our car puffed a bit. And of course it's where British cyclist Tommy Simpson collapsed and died during the Tour 40 years ago. A pity we won't be there to see it as it will be a spectacular site.
