Day 9 St Lary Soulan to Saint Savin

Tough day, made tougher by long waits for the group to re-form.  92.5 miles, 12,211 feet.

About col d'Aspin

Col du Tourmalet

Col du Tourmalet info--if it's already been written about, and better, why do it again, or try?

 Gavernie/Col des Tentes

Col des Tentes info--long climb, about 30k, with the first 20 of that being pretty easy. The last 10 kicks your butt.

Some info about Gavarnie, a World Heritage Site.

Me a couple of kilometers into the final 10K of the overall 30K climb to Col des Tentes.

Our hotel Thursday night.  Owned by a nice British couple.  I'll have to look up the name of the thing again and add it. 

Two views from my hotel window looking over Saint Savin.
