Villes-sur-Auzon has a fabulous urban campsite. Our regular spot when we are in the area. And a drink at the Café du Soleil - the epitome of vacation.

The last slide to the sea! Unspectacular but beautiful ride with more downhill than uphill meters. Magnificent blue sky, hardly any wind. Now for some seafood first!

Today's penultimate stage heralds the farewell to the high mountains in favor of the Mediterranean. This is particularly noticeable in the vegetation: more and more oaks and fragrant pines, and the cultivated landscape is also changing towards viticulture.
Particularly impressive were the gorges, especially

Once again a long climb before heading towards the Mediterranean. Today's tour had a dream profile and offered wonderful views, you constantly have to stop here and look or take photos.

The shortest stage takes us to the small town of Ax-les-Thermes, which boasts some hot springs, partly publicly accessible, with temperatures over 70°C. While the benefit is limited in summer, it is nevertheless impressive.
The drive itself went well from the start, hardly any traffic, a very pretty panoramic road..

Relaxing tour to Tarascon-sur-Ariège. Mostly on the cycle path from Saint-Girons to Foix on the route of a former railway line, which was already abandoned in the fifties. So quite relaxed cycling with all the pros and cons including strongly varying road surfaces.

In terms of route character, at most low mountain range in an initially still high mountain environment. We skipped the big passes today. It was very warm, but we couldn't detect the announced storm gusts. Excellent accommodation at the destination!

Two passes: the Col d'Aspin and the Col de Peyresourde. I haven't ridden the latter yet, but I didn't find it particularly impressive now either. Especially in the lower section, annoying headwinds, otherwise also rideable with luggage, but monotonous.
Today we leave the High Pyrenees, the wind situation

Today it was only over the Col du Tourmalet in the best conditions. Rather little traffic, now and then people on road bikes. The destination was the Hotel des Deux Cols in Sainte-Marie-de-Campan, an old small family-run guesthouse.

Short drive from Pau to the foot of the High Pyrenees via Lourdes, a Disneyland-like place, where a grumpy security guard denied us access to the water source. Mercy here is expressed more in the possibility of buying plastic Madonnas and other trinkets in the countless souvenir shops.

First stage from Dax, because the Atlantic coast is quite booked up. Bumpy start with the usual technical problems. Otherwise, a nice tour.

Kurz raus
Wie immer ist es am See anstrengend zu fahren. Sobald man abbiegt und es etwas bergauf geht, ist wiederum kaum was los. Immerhin waren einige mit dem Rennrad unterwegs.

Der Giro ist am Lago Maggiore und wir sind dabei. Der spätere Etappensieger Alberto Bettiol hat mich am Straßenrand erkannt und mir seine Riegel zugeworfen.

One time headwind hell, please (on the way to Valkenburg)... but met (or rather formed) a fantastic group - thank you very much!
