So I finally got around doing the Col du Tourmalet east side route on Rouvy..... My legs are pretty much cooked for the day. I did a warm up route first, so ended up with a total of 20.2 miles and 5065 ft of climbing. For a flat lander, I am pretty happy with my just under 2 hr Tourmalet ride. I felt pretty good until it jacked up to 9% to 12%, then it got stupid hard and very slow.

you should learn to embrace change, and mock it's failings every step of the way.
