December has been cold with temperatures falling to -10C so it has been difficult to get out on the bike – however last week we had a strangley hot day when the temperature hit +11 C. I chose this day to attack Alpe d’Huez for December.
For the record I recorded a time of 75min and 11 seconds – some 20 minutes slower than my fastest time in August of this year. This was also my 22nd cycle climb of Alpe d’Huez this year. People often ask if it get easier and I always say “No!”
January, Februay, March, November and December 1 time
April 3 time
May 4 times
June 5 times
July 1 times (Loads of mountainbiking in July !)
August 1 time (Load of mountainbiking in August although I did set a best time for me of 55:49 minutes !)
September 2 times

I am riding Alpe d’Huez every month in 2009 for Plan-uk.org . You can sponsor me at Just Giving. If you would like to be kept up to date with my progress then click on this link below to subscribe to the blog
