Today is day seven of the flashback series. I’m putting these posts up unedited in all of their retro glory.
Even today this is up there as one of the all time greatest days on the bike!!
This post originally published on or around 15/08/2008.
Anybody who has watched the tour on TV has seen the vision of the tour racing along a road which seems to be stuck precariously onto the side of a mountain. It turns out that that road links the Col d’ Soulor and the Aubisque. We rode that today and it was sensational.
It was a perfect day in the Pyrenees – blue skies, warm sun and beautiful surroundings. It was not a super tough climb today but the scenery was sensational.
It was absolutely beautiful, and at the top we got to see this ….
A fast smooth descent towards the bottom for a total ride time of a very leisurely 4:30 for 88 km and only 1565m of vertical climbing.
A day I’ll never forget.
