ORDINARY BLOKES VERSUS VENTOUX : CYCLING ACROSS FRANCE DAY 11

THE BEST DAY I'VE EVER HAD ON A BIKE . ALL THE ANTICIPATION AND TALKING IS DONE AS I ATTEMPT TO CYCLE UP THE BEAST OF PROVENCE WITH THE SUPPORT OF FRIENDS - QUITE AN ADVENTURE
THIS WAS SUCH A MEMORABLE RIDE I HAD TO MAKE A LONGER 2 PART MEMENTO WHICH I HOPE WILL INSPIRE OTHERS TO PUSH THEIR BOUNDARIES A LITTLE.
This video series follows my adventure in Sept-Oct 2023, along with 19 other cyclist friends, old and new, with Pedal Britain & Europe cycling from the English Channel at Saint Malo in France, across the entire country to the Mediterranean at Nice 14 days later, visiting the "Beast Of Provence" Mont Ventoux along the way.
A Spine injury has meant my preparation was almost non existent for the preceding 3 months and with Surgery booked for my return to the UK, I was at the start line full of Nerve Blocking medication and full of doubt as to the possibility of completing the full trip and certainly the ascent of Ventoux seemed a forlorn hope when we set off

Well done, Bill. Congratulations on overcoming all the adversity that beset you and on completing the adventure of a lifetime. Chapeau!

[@OrdinaryBlokeOnABike]

Thank you ! I still find it hard to believe I did it to be honest, it was a magical day 😁

[@ThePensionerAdventurer]

Hello Bill, Great stuff... a life long memory made there.... Take care. Paul,,

[@OrdinaryBlokeOnABike]

Too right Paul, a day I will never forget 👍🚴‍♂

[@philloosehead8335]

Very well done Bill I knew you’d do it. A truly great achievement I hope you enjoyed a well deserved pint or two at end.

[@OrdinaryBlokeOnABike]

Thank you !! Yes we had a couple but had to remind ourselves it wasn't the end, we still had 3 more days cycling ahead and they were absolutely amazing too !!

[@AndrewHHems1969]

I'm so happy for you that you did this Bill. Best video of yours I've seen 👊❤️

[@OrdinaryBlokeOnABike]

Thank you Andrew I’m glad it hit the spot ❤️👍

[@randelscyclevlogperthwa7342]

Amazing effort...Stelvio next I assume.

[@OrdinaryBlokeOnABike]

Well I'd love to of course but since my surgery shortly after France & Ventoux I'm struggling even more to get fit again so something like that is a long way off and I'm no "spring chicken" 😁

[@jackhagens8964]

All those Ferrari and Lamborghini driving past you, and I remember you driving up there in a Ford Astra!

[@OrdinaryBlokeOnABike]

Ha Ha and it was much much slower too 😁
