Update... almost two weeks and holiday... great!

Hi Folks,

We are in the Provence right now, some time no mopeds, a bit of resting and today the Great Climbing of the Tour de France's classic mountain: the Mont Ventoux. We've defeated him today with the three of us. Bob, Pieter and Ben decided to conquer the highest hill of the montains in the Provence and they succeeded. Bob and Pieter with a little more ease and less effort than Ben. I (Ben) think they arrived at the top with a dozen of stops with a time of at about 1h30. Ben left Juul behind in Malaucene and did it by bicycle in a bit more than 2h. (sorry Sara, but Ben improved his time with more than 1h30 compared to the last time). A little calve cramp and a lot of excitement has brought him to the top. Lucky for us, we did the rest of the trip on moped, because our fysical condition isn't that great, we should admit right now. Tomorrow, the holidays starts to end. We are going to start the retour to Belgium. For the moment, Shorty, our thruck driver hasn't got any work, so please, Belgian companies, make him to come to France, so we can put our mopeds in his truck and we don't have to do the whole trip again. On the other hand, there is time enough to do that trip, so we aren't scared to do that way, but you know, it's summer and comfort above everything.
We are now at a camping side near the river, with a swimmingpool, the good life... I have some pictures, but no camera with me, so alas, I'll upload them next time! I promise.

Keep yourself together there in rainy Belgium, or somewhere else in the world, we'll do the same!

Greatings to our moms and the rest (sorry, still not shaved), a huge kiss to chicks!

Cheers,

Pieter & Benne

ps: The Mont Ventoux is 21 km long and climbing over 1500 meters... But we are Belgians, you know, a bit sick of mind...
