Oh hang on - I'm getting confused! Stage 6 is the one I've already done - Richmond! I was thinking it would be the final Yorkshire stage! I might do something else instead....

100% sounds unnecessarily harsh on yourself! Good luck though. I don’t think I’ll get home in time to race tonight. I have a bigringvr account though if you’d like to borrow it and have a go up ventoux
That's actually a really good idea - thanks. Not used that software before but I've just had a look and it looks great. I see they have a 7 day free trial option too. Not sure I have enough time tonight - I'm assuming Ventoux will take me circa 2 hours unless I really go for it, whilst I can go up and down ADZ in an hour and a half without killing myself. Thanks for teh suggestion and offer - I might do that soon when I've got a bt more time
Good shout, I'll see how I feel during the catchup period. There is no way I'm going anywhere near the turbo today.Unfortunately that course is one you have to get into a group in order to post a fast time. Riding solo and you just wont have speed on the 75% of the course that is flat. Just read your reason for needing a HR monitor ... else I'd have suggested as per Andy to have ridden without it. Definitely a course to have another go at, as you should be able to beat that time by sitting in a blob with others

My cold seems to have relented somewhat today so I'm considering TdZ stage six (Richmond) tonight. Could be a bad idea that sets me back on my recovery from the cold but I suppose that would be a learning experience!
If I can get stage six done tonight, that keeps me on track to finish the tour so feels like it might be worth the risk. If I play it safe and rest today then I might not be able to finish the tour!

I think it’ll take roughly the same time (I’m guesstimating a bit!). But yes I think there might be a bit more killing yourself involved 😄. The ride to the bottom of the alpe is around 10mins I think. But maybe you’d want a little warm up on brvr too. I think ventoux climb is under 1:30. But you don’t get the descent afterwards. So ‘roughly’ the same.
You need to download software and suss out the settings too. So maybe one for weekends if the weather is crap or you’re too time crunched to get out.
Its 4.1 miles

If you choose road to sky it takes about 10mins (ish). They changed to the route a few months back. It used to take about 20 mins.
Ah okay.
Just fell upon a table in ZP listing the timings of all finishers and categories.
