Rainbow

Aug 09 2013 08:18 AM | Velo Peloton in Saint Savin

It's cooled down here in the Pyrénées, the last few weeks were very hot as you would expect in summer. July had the highest average temperature on record, 28c, with a max of 36c. The first signs of autumn have started to appear, the valley is taking on more brown colours as the bright greens fade. Nighttime temps on Col du Tourmalet have already been below 0c. Best of all, today the flies are gone.

I took this photo yesterday evening from one of the upstairs bedrooms in La Lanterne Rouge Pyrénées Cycling Lodge.

Col de Sencours

Jul 29 2013 10:38 AM | Velo Peloton in cols

I rode up to Col de Sencours (2378m) on Sunday. Epic road. Epic ride. Climb to Col du Tourmalet and then continue on the dirt road heading for Pic du Midi. Col de Sencours is 4km up the road. The road and the scenery are spectacular, it's a taste of what Col du Tourmalet was like before it was sealed. From Col de Sencours the road continues on for 1.5km to Col de Laquets (2637m), just below Pic du Midi.

Cirque de Troumouse - After the Flood

Jul 05 2013 07:56 AM | Velo Peloton in cols

As there is no Tourmalet, cyclists are seeking out other roads to ride instead. Port due Boucharo and Cirque de Troumouse fit the bill perfectly. Cirque de Troumouse is a fantastic climb high up in the National Park. Never used by Le Tour, it is practically unknown to cyclists, it is in my view one of the best climbs in the Pyrenees.
