A mountain with the highest category in the Tour de France. For us it was a 19 km climb. That was a real exercise. Great weather. Not too hot. Once we got to the top of the pass we took the obligatory photos. We rode the descent to the other side of the mountain. Very long, very nice.

Today the Col de Tourmalet was on the agenda.
First you drive along the railway line to the end and then do the first climb. But it is not the Tourmalet. To the right of the road is a deep gorge and the view is fascinating.
After the gorge you continue towards the Tourmalet. The climb is quite challenging at …

(Rather 2600m of vertical drop according to Wahoo than 2260m according to Komoot..)

New climb of the Tourmalet in the fog, then the sky which clears after a few minutes at the top - splendid!

The descent to La Mongie was quite... full of adrenaline thanks to the returning fog and the cows and sheep that are at home on …

After more storms and rain finally the sky cleared so i took risk of further rain and headed off at 4pm to be rewarded with a beautiful evening and few vehicles. Never seen Gave de Pau so high and running very fast.

August 25, 2024,Tourmalet in den Wolken

We went from Luz-Saint-Sauveur to the monument in the Pyrenees. The summit was covered in clouds and it was only 10°C. So we quickly took some photos, got dressed and went down quickly, but shivering and shaking, brrr. I was shivering. But it was beautiful. I beat the Gr1 rider by 3 minutes (what a beautiful word), so I was …

September 9, 2023,Pyrenäen 2023: Col du Tourmalet 🪶👑

#sightseeingpace
Today we went to the Tourmalet. After we had overcome the reality crash in the first half, the second half was really nice again from the pass. The rest of the tour ran under the motto:

🎼36 degrees and it's getting hotter
Never turn the beat down again
36 degrees, no fan
Life doesn't seem hard to me at …
