| ..and how does it differ from a Col? | | Many thanks! | | Tom | Sometimes these terms get mixed up in usage, but cime is a peak or summit and a col is usually a mountain pass. -- Davey Crockett - The United States planned to gas Australian troops in experiments with two of the most lethal nerve gases ever devised, newly declassified files have revealed. Previously top secret documents have shown that even as the world was outlawing chemical weapons at the height of the Cold War, Washington sought Canberra's permission to test sarin and VX gas on diggers in remote Queensland. The documents, shown on Channel Nine's Sunday programme yesterday, indicate that US military scientists wanted to bomb and spray 200 "mainly Australian" troops with the deadly nerve agents in the 1960s. |

Col: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_pass Cime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summit_%28topography%29 Bird's eye view in google earth: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ewoud/earth/bonette.jpg The cime is where the concentration of blue balls is (the green mark is off). The race follows the yellow road. Top of the pic is southeast and riders are more or less going east-west on the Bonette so they are climbing from the left and descending towards bottom of the pic. Streetview on the col from west with road around the cime to the right: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ewoud/earth/bonette_tothecime.jpg |

Wow - that's going to be a killer of a ride later this morning. It's one thing to look at the route profile, but when you actually see the mountain, it's a whole different story. Best, Tom |

When I looked at that image, the first caption that popped into my mind was "Ted van de Weteringe, climbing mountains on the world's first off-road pogo stick" g |
