This was a great day, loved it. Confidence inspiring grippy roads, nice weather and amazing views (again), as I think back its funny but as humans we seem to adjust to our surrounding very easily. Incredible views that you just won’t see anywhere north of say Toulouse (!) just become ‘another mountain’ or ‘another valley’.
“oh look another fresh water lake 1500metres above sea level, with a snow topped mountain in the background”
Yawn!
When we stopped at the ski station however I managed to grab ‘the’ satnav photo
Haven’t ridden the bike that hard for a while, probably since my Switzerland trip a few years ago. UK roads just don’t openly offer what we had here. I love the tight technical stuff, probably more than the fast sweepers, but it’s a matter of taste I guess.
Back at base camp, I think we filled the recycling bag about 3 or 4 times in the 6 days we were there, I am sure we filled it full on one night alone!
Wow, stunning roads and a cracking SatNav pic Champs.
“Once back at Campan it was time to boost local recycling rates again…”
Not boosting the local French economy though:Leffe – Belgian beer
Guiness – Irish stout
Heineken – Dutch beer
Pizza – Italian stapleAt least you kept it in the EU. Couldn’t you find any local McDonalds restaurants to roll up to on your German and Japanese bikes?
I’m only jealous and clutching at straws to make my miserable week at work seem plausible, I’d love to have been there.
So it seems like you had lots of roads closed then. They had it really bad out there the last few months with the snow melting.
