Zwift: Ventoux the Ven-Top!

I guess I'm climbing Ventoux! Sort of a last minute decision - wanna see me suffer the last few km?

i've only made it as far as the chateau on one of the tour rides earlier in the year. might have to give the whole route a go one day.

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Find a group ride is my advice. So boring on your own!

[@stefmb1290]

nice you finished it ,rode it up around 3 times , pretty boring for sure , like the climb portals way more , best time was sub 85 min , for 100 km batch , either Radio Tower or do Bologna TT , on the downhill start sprinting and you ll hit + 100 for sure

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Awesome, I’ll give the Radio Tower a go. This climb just went on forever with nothing to keep me interested. Glad it’s checked off the list!

Thumbnail looks fantastic

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Haha thanks. It’s what I could knock together on my phone while my brain was deprived of oxygen!

[@HuddoThePaceline]

@@ericbarnettcycling nah it’s great

[@inthedrops]

Great work Eric.. its a tough one, well done for sticking it out..

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thanks! Once I hit a certain point I thought “I can just finish this and never have to do it again” 😂

[@mumblecake251]

Nice one, I still got that one to tick of the list. Been up the Alpe about 15 times but never the Ventoux. I only just noticed that sanity eventually prevailed and you made the change over to metric ... looking through your streams it actually seems to have happened over 4 months ago ... I'm clearly not paying enough attention ;)

[@ericbarnettcycling]

I went to metric briefly, then back to miles, and now back again. It’s still not natural to think in km - I have to do 5k math in my head!

[@mumblecake251]

@@ericbarnettcycling easier to do 8k maths. 8km are pretty much exactly 5mi :)

Great job Eric 👌

[@HuddoThePaceline]

Great work mate really impressed

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thanks, Andrew! Let’s make that Alpe 1 hour ride happen!

[@leiflarsen8422]

haha cartoon Vertoux, I prefer the real deal

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Never been there, but it has to be 100% better than the cartoon!

[@isaacchung1049]

nice work out. u are a strong rider

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thank you, Isaac!

[@RoyImahara]

Great job. That climb was awful!!!

[@ericbarnettcycling]

I can see the fun in the Alpe - nothing about Ventoux is fun. Just terrible the entire time!
