Cincle, who is ready for this?

Two people from Venlo ( Twan and Chris) attempt to do the "Cinlcle" on the 25th of May (see my older posting in January). This would mean that they will start on Sunday very early and climb the Mont Ventoux from Sault to the top. Then they go down to Bedoin to join the rest of us in the climb from Bedoin to the top. And after that they have to go down to Malaucene and climb him for the third time from this side. After this they will go down to Sault to finish there challenge. I personally wanted to do this too, but after my surgery I don't think I'm ready for that. Who of the bikers of our group thinks also to do this? Are there more people who think this is possible and would try it? 136 Km ( the half of them are down hill) and 4390 meters of climb, if you think you want to do this, then read the instructions down here.
To get member of the club of "Cincle" you have to sign in at Mr. Pic in France. http://www.clubcinglesventoux.org/index.php?pcr=1&tpe=id_pry&ad=ASC

Send him an E-mail with the question what to do to get the card for the stamps, this card do you need to get alle stamps at the villages and top. After you finished this challenge you have to send Mr. Pic your card with stamps and he will send you your membership of "Le Club des Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux".
As far as I now cost the card about 14 euros.

So if there are more people who think to do this, start as soon as possible to get your stamp card and let me now that you will, I will bring you all in contact with each other so that you can make your own planning for that day.

"N'est pas fou qui monte au Ventoux, mais est bien fou qui y retourne." " You aren't crazy to climb the Mont Ventoux, but you are if you do it ones again."
This is a Provencal proverb.
