First, sorry about the accidental post before this one. I’ve only been using WordPress nearly 4 years. I’ll get the hang of it soon…

No, not a religious holiday (although I might be asking for divine intervention if things get tough..), but my first time trial of sorts. The Ascension de Mont Aigoual, a famous local race here in Le Sud, is a 28km mountain time trial (but with the advertised group start I don’t see the categorization) that starts in the village of Valleraugue (357m) and finishes on top of impossible-to-spell Mt. Aigoual, the highest point in my departement of Gard – 1567m.
The race takes place this Sunday, August 5th, and sign-ups are open till the day before. For those still sitting on the fence (you know who you are!), you still have time…
The Vicious Cycle 
I’m tapering so I shall give it a miss. Sounds like fun. I hope you go well.
I understand. I’ll give you more notice next time.
Sounds like fun. I did the exact same thing with WordPress the other day, so don’t feel too bad.
Sounds like torture ,i would be interested if it was downhill…
Good luck with hope you have good legs
The knee has been acting up lately, so I think I need to get these races out of the way before it gives up the ghost for the season. If I hear of a downhill version I’ll be sure and let you know.
Velominati Rule #55// Earn your turns.
If you are riding down a mountain, you must first have ridden up the mountain. It is forbidden to employ powered transportation simply for the cheap thrill of descending. The only exception to this is if you are doing intervals on Alpe d’Huez or the Plan de Corones and you park your car up top before doing 20 repeats of the climb.
LOL
Looks like a nice climb, if, I would climb with you. Difficult to find a decent climb around here…
Next time you’re in the neighborhood we can do it together..
WHAT’S THE FUN GOING DOWN IF YOU DIDN’T SUFFER GOING UP? IT’S SIMPLY THE LAW OF RIDING.
I’ll tell you on Sunday because I’m parking at the top and riding down to the start!
Spelling is one thing…how the hell do you pronounce this name? Best wishes! Wish Steve could join you….
I wish he could, too, and you as well with your new shopping bike! Pronunciation: the best I can come up with is ‘egg-wall’…

For beer (even Miller) I’d forgo the uphill battle for sure.
