Hopefully, I'll be riding somewhere not too far behind you PS - I hate to be a party pooper but that is a picture of Stelvio ;) Here are some Tourmalet pics: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=tourmalet&w=88379351%40N00 Donald – I am very excited that your coming to Europe to do the Pyrennées … you will love it.

How do you say that in French? You know what... there's an App for that! GROOVER-- Thanks so much... all this time and I have never bought a copy of Friel's training bible. I guess I need to add that to my Christmas list. Thanks! RON– Yes, Train hard! How do you say that in French? You know what… there’s an App for that!

Just like you I get confused when I try too many different things. The training bible works for me. Even though I am from Europe I've never ridden the big Cols either. My dream is to ride the Stelvio, hopefully in 2010. That's the plan! Good luck with your training.

Don't think too much about the climb. I'd say train hard. And learn some..er..French along? As they say ignorance is bliss and you don’t know what you don’t know.

I do feel really good about that. As far as Global Ride... yes the Hawaii climbing DVD is my man cave training. They have a new Italy climbing DVD that I will have to add to the collection for more man cave training. Thanks for you help!
