90 miles
Today was a long day by this tour's standards, 90 miles and 12,000 ft of climbing. We crossed five passes today: the Col d'Azet, 1500m, the Col de Peyresourde, 1500m, the Col du Portillon, 1300m, the Col de Mente, 1350m, and the Col de Portet d'Aspet, 1069m. None of these climbs in itself was very high but doing five in a day added up. The steepest was the Portet d'Aspet, which required the use of my lowest gear.
Overall I felt pretty good all day. But I'm not in the mood to write anything lengthy. Suffice it to say it was a pretty good day.
Here is the town of Azet, seen from the climb of Col d'Azet, in the early morning. Very pretty.
And here's one of my five obligatory summit photos, this one on the Peyresourde:
