Stage 1: Ripoll to Font-Romeu

Today we road the first stage of the Haute Route Pyrenees: 93km from Ripoll in Northern Spain to Font-Romeu in Southern France.  The route consists of three climbs: Coll de Merolla, Coll de la Creueta, and Font-Romeu.  Here is the profile (click on it to make it bigger):


Here is a view of the start before we all lined up:

And another view from the road.  I want to point out that I didn't stop to take these pictures!


OK, this one I did stop to take.  It is one of the feed stops at the top of Coll de la Creueta.
