	Jerry’s Tour of the Pyrenées, Cantabria and Asturias – Tuesday July 12th
		It is a bit steep up to the Tourmalet pass, so I got time to notice I had raced the day before, but it was not stopping me. At the pass I saw the gravel road (that I had never noticed in 2001 when I passed over the Tourmalet in perfect sunshine).
		The last metres to Col des Laquets (2637) was cyclable and I managed to take a photo of me there on the second try (I really had to be super concentrated to succeed with that, as you see …).
		On the east side of Col du Tourmalet I had to zig-zag down the road between Llama animals.

	Cycling The French Pyrenees - September 2005
		The plan was to start with an out-and-back along the most famous and highest col in the French Pyrenees, Col du Tourmalet, followed by a climb up to the ski station at Luz-Ardiden.
		When Octave Lapize, who was some 15 minutes behind the leader, reached the pass of the Tourmalet in great pain and pushing his bike (see photo left), he saw a group of race officials and yelled “Assassins!” Lapize sucked it up, though, going on to take the stage and the overall title.
		We climbed the Tourmalet from the more scenic west side, requiring 18 km (11 miles) of cycling with 1404 meters (4606 ft) of elevation gain with an average grade of 7.7%.

	Col du Tourmalet by Tandem
		Following up on my post about upgrading the disk brake on out Orbit Twin 26 the bike got a test over the Col de la Croix Blanc and the Col du Tourmalet this month.
		The Tourmalet was seriously hard work in the heat.
		However while coming down off the Col de Bataille a few days before, the cable on our drag/drum brake snapped, and we ended up blowing the rear tube about 20s later.

		The climb of the Tourmalet is about 18 kilometres from Luz and it is said to be one of the hardest climbs in France.
		It took us 2 hours and 10 minutes, quite a nice time considering the fact that the Atlas des Cols gives an average time of 2 hours and three minutes for the '80-28' male (80 kilos and an average of 28 km/h on the flat).
		It was hard to find the col sign in the thick fog, be we succeeded in making some nice pictures.
