Beautiful sunshine all day. We did Col du Spandelles from Argeles-Gazost, descended to Ferrières and then rode up the 12km @ 8% to Col du Soulor. Two super hard climbs and great company.

Cirque du Litor, from Col du Soulor. Fantastic weather for a change. The road remains closed and the avalanche risk is high. Should be open in a couple of weeks if the good weather lasts.]]> Tue, 04 Jun 2013 15:09:29 +0000 0a1bf96b7165e962e90cb14648c9462d http://www.velopeloton.com/articles.html/_/cols/tourmalet-night-ride , organised by the local tourist office.
