0917 - Col du Tourmalet

I cycled the 16.8 mile climb to get this picture. There must be an easier way to get landscape images.

Fabulous! Our son did this climb earlier this year - he's probably a bit younger than you though!

Well done, worth the effort for this fantastic view, and you did an iconic stage of the Tour de France, I imagine you looked a bit like Eddie Merckx winning this stage 53 years ago !

@laroque Thanks for the link. If I had ridden it 53 years ago it still would have been hard, but I might have gone a bit quiker.

Definitely worth the effort 😊

They are easier ways but they are not so pleasant. Such a shot will not be one of many, but always watching it you will feel the effort of the trip.
