very nice road without too much traffic: for nearly 5 kilometers the road follows a stream "le neez" downstream from JUNCALAS then "le louey" upstream to the inn of castelloubon.

A fantastic climb and at some point you …

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

36 degrees, no fan
Life doesn't seem hard to me at …
