Haute Route Pyrenees: Stage 2

Today we raced from Font-Romeu to Ax les Thermes.  A total distance of 120km.  The course had two major climbs and two minor ones.  It was a beautiful day but a hard one!  Here is the course.


The obligatory self at the start...


Not sure whether the 10KM to go sign on the climb to Col du Port de Pailheres is encouraging or discouraging...


On the climb...


At the top of Col du Port de Pailheres.  A really fast descent followed this but I couldn't take any pictures!


The finish at the ski station above Ax les Thermes


View from my hotel. The red building is one of the thermal baths that Ax les Thermes is named for.


Post ride Selfie in town.


The French really support cycling.  They even have a shop that sells artisanal pain!  Just was a cyclist needs to ensure that are suffering sufficiently!


Here is today's Strava record:
