Sounds like a tough one particularly if the weather is hot, when i went up it was roasting and i couldnt have done it 3 times never mind 6 times.
btw does he know there is a 4th ascent?
What a cool thing to do in honour of an old mate. Big challenge. Let us know how he gets on.
I'd be more worried about the wind then the heat. Good luck to him, long old day. Should be about 160 miles I think, and about 6000-7000m of climbing?
I'll tell him omar lol he is quite mad 🙂 I'll let you know how it goes
Just spoke to him he knew of the fourth offroad route and considered doing the four but it meant two bikes to take over so decided doing it six times was harder lol
Donation made.
Super fit cycling mate of mine (top 1000 of etape plus other longer races etc) did 2x ventoux with the third the next day. So 6 times in a day is just bonkers.
Some beaut off road descents to be had but thats a lot of climbing!
He's passed on thanks for donations from some kind folks 🙂
Update for you chaps, he's just back up and down three routes , twice completed in 18 hours 😉 thanks again
Once rested he's got the brutal double ironman to do next month
