Mont Ventoux

Tue, May 22, 2001; by Inge Johannessen.

Physically, the Ventoux is dreadful. Bald, it's the spirit of Dry: Its climate (it is much more an essence of climate than a geographic place) makes it a damned terrain, a testing place for heroes, something like a higher hell."

Roland Barthes, French philosopher and bicycle racing fan, author of Mythologies, describes Mont Ventoux in the Tour de France.

Merhaba Inge,

How wonderful it is to see you doing all this.

I have two bikes,and one of them looks very much like yours.What is the use of having one or two if I don't make a good use even out of one!

Congratulations my friend.Carve your name on the

rocks along the way just like Hafdan,the Norwegian

Viking did at Hagia Sophia.
