We had planned on doing the ride when they next came over, and that was now. Preparing is an altogether different issue.
There were lots of pro names, but many more private names put there by friends of people doing the climb. They were everywhere, in several languages.
I have done lMV the easiest way so far. Go to
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/masong4 then "pictures" then "cycling" to see what I have so far. Also, there is a section in "pictures" on bicycle races I have been to here if that is of any interest.
