Here's a short video message from Kieron from the top of Ventoux after the 2nd climb: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=568786416497104
Craig Lynch (Brampton Manor), Kieron Salt (Ideagen Software) and John Kinirons (EDF Energy) are going to climb the iconic Mont Ventoux (the notorious 'Giant of Provence') twice in 24 hours using two different routes.
On the 15th July we'll climb via the Bedoin Side - the day after the Tour de France climb the mountain. The following day we'll climb from the Malaucine side - just as difficult. Including the ride from our base we wil be cycling around 150 miles over both days.
The actual climbing of the mountain will be over 42km with around 3100m of vertical ascent (average 7% gradient).
