Camping out for 4 days Mt Ventoux




Camped out at Mt Serein for 4 days as we waited for the tour to come thru. It was cold and I still had the flu. Must say this wasn't the best 4 days being sick and all. But this is a pretty part of the world. Got some nice walking done. Once walking up the track and once up the road. BB with his super human effort, ran up the hill everyday. Ahh, if only. Ate tinned corn, bb tinned carrots and peas. Cheeses tomato and baguette along with mustard for lunch. Drove to a couple of markets, Bedouin and mallacene, didn't stay too long, but watched them set up. After 4 days of camping, the tdf organizers cancelled the route to the top of Ventouix as it was far to windy and dangerous. So after waiting 4 days we made a quick exit to Bedouin to watch the tour past there.
