Tour de France week – Cycling holiday
Last week’s hardy cyclists spent five days cycling up and down the area’s famous Cols, enjoying a variety of weather and terrain.There was even some rivalry between the group for a few Col finishes. One of our English guests took first place each time (of course!) with a guest from Ireland and the USA hotly contesting for second place.
The week also involved cycling ahead of the Tour de France on Thursday to reach Peyragudes in time to see the stage finish there and, of course, watching the Tour head over our local Col du Tourmalet on the Wednesday.
A great week with passionate cyclists and to top it all off – Team Sky swept the board at the Tour de France with three Brits standing on the podium yesterday. Wiggins, Froome and Cavendish, we salute you!
