Cheers! Heh, a few guys I ride with did it last year and told me about the heat. My favourite line was "I looked at my garmin and it read 40c. I figured this was because it was in the sun, and felt a little better. Then I realised that I too was in the sun, and felt a lot worse." A couple of club mates even turned out sub 7 hour times despite the heat, impressive stuff.

Guy who runs AlpCycles does it in around 7:10 and one of the guests staying with us was a Pro. See below. Was in the 2001 World's against the likes of Ulrich etc.
