Good conditions at the moment

Hello,

Good news from France, an employee of MeadWestvaco Venlo was on holiday in France last week and visited the Mont Ventoux by car. He was on the top and he told me that the conditions were very good, there is still some snow on the slopes below the top but the road was clear and in good condition. There were also a lot of bikers who where trying to get to the top and it looked like they where suffering. I will ask him some pictures from the top to show you.
Yesterday I did some training in the hill from the Netherlands (yes even we as a lowland have hills) together with Chris and Peter. I would say we should be ready for it, it will not be easy but that should not be the problem. I hope you all are ready too.

The first pictures is fro a webcam near the Mont Ventoux and shows you the Northside.
