Basketball was good last night. Actually, my team for the night lost 4 of 5, but hey, what are you going to do. There was a lot of running and gunning, playing full court 4 on 4 with 1 sub. Played for 1.5 hours, so was pretty beat afterward.
Today is without a doubt my favorite part of the Tour. L’Alpe. Can’t be beat. 14km of pur climbing. Average gradient of 7.9%. Brutal, exhilirating. I’ll say it again, but someday I want to ride that beast. Give me a couple of hours and meet me on top with a bottle of vino if you prefer, but someday. Put it near the top of lifetime dreams.
