I also climbed Mont Ventoux this summer, but from the South side (from Bedoin). It was pretty hard (one of the hardest climbs i have done) with a fully loaded (20kg) touring bike, but very nice after Chalet Reynard.
I have a couple of bookmarks to pages that contain information about Mont Ventoux that could be of interest:
