As requested, I couldn’t ride my motorbike that high up and not get the correct altitude! Although for the record the slight downfall of the only carb mixed bike in the group at that altitude meant the throttle had only 3 settings, flat out, sluggish and kangaroo hop.
a glimpse behind the scenes of our photos, and the rapidly catching German officer pose, although all it needs is a yellow ticket on the screen and there would be completely different meaning.
Such a stunning place, really miss it now! That road was a million % better 2nd time around so well worth going up a 2nd time for a pic
Another great write up Tony and yes the Col du Tourmalet and Col d’Aspin are fantastic routes
Just 20 mins from our house!!Re the “new statue”. It’s not new, it gets taken down every winter and then put back in time for the summer season. not entirely sure why – preserving it / cleaning ?? Odd French tradition?? Who knows. Perhaps they think someone might nick it!
Glad you had such a great trip – it is a fantastic region
