Congratulations to Jo Foster for completing this year's Etape du Tour from Pau to Hautacam in 9h20m.
This year's beast of a ride was 165 km and took in the legendary Col du
Tourmalet, an ascent of 23,4 km at a 7,5% gradient, before rounding off
with the Hautacam for good measure (15,2 km at a 7,2% gradient).
"I was wearing my jersey with pride however unfortunately I had to wear my rain jacket all day so didn't get to show off!
I found it really really hard, pushed some physcological barriers that's for sure!
It was the weather that pushed it too the edge for me, it was sooo cold and wet and visibility was really bad.
The first 100km were quite boring and by the end of that i was soaking (1 puncture down) and then the climbs started.
I was pretty nervous about the decent of the Tourmalet however it was ok (took it v slowly though) and once had hit the Hautacam it was ok (overtook a lot of people :-).
One of my friends had a blow out on the decent of the Tourmalet and Hautacam - managed to control his bike both times but was very very lucky."
