FAO: Tricky H (apologies)

Sorry Tricky, didn't see your post regarding favourite cycling climb I've done so far. In truth I've found them all b*****ds! But I've loved them when I've finished!! I found Galibier the most 'enjoyable' because its the one time I managed to get in any type of rythmn but they've all proved I'm no climber! I weigh about 11 stone 10lbs and at 5' 11" that's clearly too heavy to be a decent climber (as you know TDF climbers are built like jockeys and even Wiggins had to drop to 10 stone 6lbs to get up them with any ability and at 6' 2" thats seriously thin). But I suppose Alpe d'Huez and Tourmalet are the most iconic so to ride them was wonderful (at the top!). I suppose for me it's like being able to play footy at Carrow Road or at Wembley because I can ride my bike where the best in the world ride. Sure I ride at less than half their speed but nevertheless I've still done the same route. I'll let you know about Ventoux because its always been an ambition. What about yourself?
