Rapha CCC Recce: The Pyrenees

By Joe Hall • 20th August 2010 11:42am • Posted in Rides

Phil Deeker and six other riders, including Rapha's Ultan Coyle, are currently scouting the route for the Pyrenean version of the Rapha Cent Cols Challenge. Phil sent this email.

hi joe
totally ****ed after stage 1. maybe too tired to start with maybe i peaked earlier in summer ???!!! will get better as days go on….i tell myself! sooooooooooo hot on pailheres. ultan rode well. kevin crashed (not too bad - skin left on road, hopefully OK tomorrow). must get some sleep.all riders very knackered tonight. garmin said 37C hottest temp of ride…. it felt like it, even if garmin is not that accurate sometimes.

see my flickr account for photos for the blog.
see also garmin link for stats. crap speed, although i notice i did 107kph down the Pailheres!! (not sure whether that is so accurate either!!!)

now i need some sleep
cheerio

phil
