Nice even climb. Still hurt me a bit after the Grand Colombier 😃
In the afternoon nice barely bothered by the sun. For a large part also located between the trees.

Mooie gelijkmatige klim. Deed me na de Grand Colombier nog wel wat pijn 😃
In de middag lekker nauwelijks last van de zon. Voor een groot gedeelte ook tussen de bomen gelegen.
