France - Owen rides up Mont Ventoux

27 June -  One of Owen's goals on this trip was to ride up Mont Ventoux (1912m) - one of the famous climbs of the Tour de France.  It is a 21km ride - a long tough climb that took Owen about 2 hours 15 minutes.  There were hundreds of cyclists out riding the climb, many more cyclists than cars!

Nearly there!

Such a barren mountain
