Who Do You Think You Are? on the Bédoin Climb of the Mont Ventoux. Jaap Ten Hoeve

This book will supply bikers with essential information about the southern climb of the Mont Ventoux. The route will be described shortly and illustrated with some maps of the location in France. Next, detailed information about the unique particulars of the southern climb of the Mont Ventoux will be supplied, such as biking distance, altitude difference to be conquered, minimum, maximum and average gradient, a topview of the route, a threedimensional view of the route, the altitude versus the biking distance, the gradient versus the biking distance and a statistical distribution of the gradients. Beside that, you can read off useful information about the southern climb of the Mont Ventoux, such as your biking time, your required energy, your required amount of food, your required volume of water and your recommended gears. The description and the particulars of the climb are equal for all bikers. How to conquer a climb, is however personal and therefore different for every individual biker.
