Col de Tourmalet and The Fugitives

A nostalgic day for the Church Boys  as the Tour de France went up the Tourmalet. We had a wonderful time cycling in the Pyrenees seven years ago. The highlight for us was to cycle up the Tourmalet. Watching yesterday as they went up the side we climbed it came flooding back how long it was- it was over 10 miles to the top and I think we climbed over 6,500 feet. I have posted a picture of me getting to the top before in this blog so I think the ones below are pictures that I haven’t posted before. Last night I went to watch a Canadian Folk Band –The Fugitives in Stroud. Excellent musicians and really entertaining.

Fingers crossed for the football tonight!
