Pyrenees Day 2<\/a> <\/p> \n\n\n\n

So it’s Pyrenees Day 2 and another tough one but thankfully not as bad as yesterday. Yes we had bigger harder climbs today but energy wise I was better off. So we were climbing the Col de Marie Blanque and the
Col D’Aubisque. The first Col was a tough one as it’s steeper than the second but the D’Aubisque is a higher and longer climb. It’s quite a grind up the Col de Marie Blanque with sections of 13% but the D’Aubisque is less steep but again because it’s longer you just have to keep pedalling on and on <\/span> But once you are on top of D’Aubisque it’s all down hill to the hotel <\/span> and a very nice decent it was. Tomorrow is the toughest day up the Col du Tourmalet so lets hope I survive that one <\/span> <\/span> Again I got an elevation record today which will be broken again tomorrow but I’m not complaining <\/span> <\/p> \n\n\n\n
