It was a nice day and actually not too killer.
There was a choice of routes, with most people going over the Col du Tourmalet. I, however, chose to do the 'flat' route with only 1200m of climbing instead of the 3000m of the Tourmalet route.
There were only 5 of using doing the 'easy option' so it was nice and sociable. We met up with the super keen group at about 60km and all cycled together for the rest of the way.
With most of the other people who did it. A couple are French cycling champions (they did the Tourmalet of course)
Beautiful views
Quick rest at the top of a hill...
... with flapjack from our support driver. The French people all loved it and wanted the recipe, often they don't think much of British baking...
Support driver with some healthy bananas and apples as well as the flapjack
Passing through Pouzac (the village we live in)
At the end, tired but happy
