At the summit of the Col de Tourmalet Me and my bike

At the summit of the Col de Tourmalet, the most legendary pass of French Pyrenees. One day I will climb it on my own bike! If you want to find out more about the Tour de France in the Pyrenees, go to this page.

Is it coincidental or destiny? On my birthday, July 1, 1965, the 10th stage of the Tour de France started at Bagnères de Bigorre, followed the Ariège valley along the northern margin of the Aston massif and ended in Ax-les-Thermes. The Belgian Guido Reybroeck won that day.
