Here is a photo you might like to include in the DLN. It's of Jamie Batten and
I riding a 6 day sportive called the "Explore Nice Metropole" held in the Alpes
Maritime mountains. The event was organised by ASO,and featured approx
3,000 metres of climbing for most of the days, with some wonderful high
mountain passes ridden such as the "Col de Lombarde (from both the Italian
and French) and the Col de Bonette (highest paved through road in Europe)
- both of which featured in the 2008 TdF. You can google "Explore Nice
Metropole" for more information.
Also, another clubmen - Jeremy Philips - was spotted holding the wheel of
Thibaut Pinot from FDJ, on a climb while riding in the Canary Islands.

I could not find Jeremy but he could be on
this road. Ed
