Loop: Vielha to Col d’Aspin

Today was all about Col hunting and boy did we succeed, 4 ticked off the list, 2 of which we did twice… because we had too to get back to Vielha. The other bonus was that most, if not all of them were Tour de France routes which made Chez happy.

The day started off not so great, with a massive screw in my tyre, but Chez came to the rescue with a tyre repair kit and the knowledge to use it. I also went for a lovely little walk in the woods which made me happy. Tyre bunged and inflated, coffee imbibed and the sun up and off we went for an epic day hunting for mountains!

The photos speak for themselves but he passes we did were:
Col d’Aspin
La Hourquette d'Ancizan
Col de Peyresourde
Col du Portillon

Autumnal wooded hillsides, gorgeous vistas, epic hairpins, daredevil drops and some damn good sorbet. Dreamy!!

Oh and we ended up in France, love France’

Good: the whole damn day
Bad: nadda
