Ride out to Col du Tourmalet

Leaving the village overcast we went in search of some sun!

The cloud was low in the mountains and we wondered if we would be able to climb out of it on Tourmalet, but we were not sure how far we would get up the pass.  As it turned out not very far, the road was only partially clear 1km out of La Mongie, although we had to ride round the 'Route Barree' sign.  However we did manage to get above the cloud line and find some sun and much needed warmth.

On the way back down we stopped to look at an avalanche which had a stream flowing from beneath it.
