Yesterday, Saturday, I decided to go to the top of Salève, which is a mountain in France that goes up to 1400 m (according to this article from wikipedia).
It isn't very far, but it's mounting all the way, it was hard as hell, I had to find my rithm and mount all the way without stopping. I only stopped one time, after 25 minutes always mounting, because I didn't came in the correct rithm, but after that I didn't stop until I got to the top (more 50 minutes mounting). After being on top I could move around and visit some places there, but since I was a little BIT tired I just climbed a little bit more near to a high view point to take a look around. I think that next time I will go and visit other places there, when I'm more used to climb :)
Some numbers:
- Climb lenght: 9Km
- Time to climb: 1h24m
- Time to descend: 15m
- Maximum speed: 63.2Km/h
- Average speed: 13Km/h
- Total Km: 27.1Km
- Total time: 2h05m
I didn't took photos, but there are some in facebook, I don't know if everyone is able to see them, because I don't understand nothing from it... I just registered to be able to see the photos and that was it.
So for this I leave you only with the photos from my victory over the Salève! :)
