Atop Mont Ventoux with Charlotte and Peter.

 Yesterday's hike took me to the summit of Mont Ventoux with Charlotte, Peter, and their group.




Charlotte and Peter admiring the view from the summit.





Inspiration: a one-legged cyclist finishing his climb - photo taken near the summit...




The hiking trails and the views toward the north:




The serene forest on the northern slopes, laden with larch, spruce, and fir.




On the way down I stopped to cheer on Betty Kals, who was attempting to break the record of the number of bike ascents from Bedoin to summit in a 24-hour period. She had already completed 5 ascents when the pictures below were taken. The number she needed to reach was 9, with a total of over 14 000m of altitude gain over the day. Crazy. Hope she did it.
