Bah humbug - to turn off the snow, visit your preferences and select a style that isn't Christmas.

Nope, never done it. Have you done climbs of that type before or is this a first?

Not done that one myself - but know a couple of folk who have had problems with the weather on it, blowing an absolute hoolie up top if the mistral comes in. So reckon a close scrutiny of the forecast is in order - hope you get a nice day for it.
Have there been any reports of hoons on bikes speeding along pavements lately?

That was a long day... 13 hours from door to door.
If you've never done the col de romme... keep it that way. 9km @ 11%. Evil.
First day was great until I stopped... then things got weird. Cramps all over, shivering loads, sweating buckets.
Got over the Iseran yesterday and down the valley but threw up 3 times on the telegraphe... I have the sneaking suspicion I may be unwell.
Came back down and took a hotel but still feel rubbish this morning. No point destroying myself so I'll roll down the valley to chambery and take a train home... after all I'm doing this for fun.

Stay healthy mate. The last thing you want is to be up a mountain unwell, especially if the weather turned.

That was exactly the decision I made yesterday... the galibier is a wild place and theres no public transport up there. Best to stay out of trouble

I've done a fair few similar climbs but as you say its reputation for being a bit blustery which is slightly worrying. Ive only got Tuesday to do it so hopefully I have a good day!

Still a fair old effort. Rest up and recover!

It's always windy up there... it's just sometimes impossibly windy.
Good luck and enjoy!
Weather is absolutely scorching all over the south at the moment.

Stereotypical but still awesome...
5 days in Majorca on lads cycling holiday next week. As dad of 3 I'm blessed to have an understanding family (aka I've no idea how I get away with it!)

Team sky or whatever they are called pulling as many riders as possible from the world champs, a horrible organisation that continues to be bad for the sport
Is it them that's pulling them? Sounds like Thomas has just been on the jolly, which is strange given he's not had the greatest season and this could be a last hurrah given that he'll surely be a super domestique next season. Bizarre from him, especially as GB need a good showing in the TT to get 2 spots in the Olympics TT, which again you'd imagine he might target.

Claim doesn't really stack up given how many of their riders have ridden and performed at the worlds over the years...
Thomas will still ride the road race too
