Those of you watching on TV know that wet weather in France has been a common feature of this year's TdF. We, however, have been very lucky with the weather - 9 straight days of good weather (except for the top of Mt. Ventoux)....until today (Friday 7/25). Today was supposed to be our turn to conquer the historic Col du Tormalet, but unfortunately rain and high winds at the summit kept us off the mountain. A reason to come back again. We did ride along the bike path from Lourdes to the village of Gorge de Luz which is at the base of Tormalet. A nice town, and a good place to stay the next time I visit the area.
I'll be back someday to conquer this beast, hidden in the clouds on this day.
