The first glitch on FFT 2010, they closed the road very early and we're stuck at the bottom of AX3 after getting here a bit early and deciding to have lunch at a cafe. This is the decisive climb of Le Tour so you don't want to miss the fireworks.
Then we spotted the Gondola, a bit of sweet talking by Captain Le Foz of the operator and we're on our way to the top... Phew lucky!
Standing in the queue and all of a sudden we have a phone call from the other boys... Mike's puffing like he's cranking up the climb, "what's up boys", "they won't let us up...." They reply. A few seconds later and we let them in on the secret...
On the way I got a call from the Stig, he's gone to the top of the wrong mountain... Still 30k to go, how that happened we're not sure - maybe his GPS is set for mountain biking.
Safely at the top we can now work our way down the course a bit and see if we can find a bar with a TV while we wait.
Tomorrow we will definitely be checking the road book before we leave.
