Superbaréges.
Set out to climb the Col de Tourmalet but it is still closed, so I went on to the ski station at Superbaréges. It is 29km from St Savin and is 4.5km from the Tourmalet summit, with 14km at 8%.

Le Tech.
Climb from St Savin for 25km to Le Tech, a hydro power plant at 1500m in the national park. A dense pine forest with the usual spectacular waterfalls and stunningly beautiful vistas. On the way back took in the Col de Borderers, its only 3 km but very steep and rather painful, but that’s what cycling is all about.

Col de Couraduque
Down hill to Argelés and then 17km at 5% up to the Col de Couraduque (1367m). The last 6km are very hard with averages of 8% and 9% with a max of 15%. The decent is great fun with a brilliant surface and wide road with lots of switchbacks. Came back to St Savin through Bun.

Col de Croix Blanche
Down the valley to Lugagnan and up the 3.5km to Berbérust (713m), it an real killer at 9.4% with a section over 20%. The descent is slow despite the grade that reaches -25%, there are open gullies crossing the road so you need to be cautious. Then it is up the Col de Croix Blanche (825m), a lovely climb at 4-5% until the last couple of km where it kicks up reaching 14% in places. The view is amazing and the decent very fast and technical, reached 68km per hour just off the summit. From Trébons I headed back towards Lourdes over the Cote de Loucrup (547)m. At Lourdes I joined the Voie Vert to Argeles-Gazost and then up the hill home.

First 1000m Alt climb of 2009.

In warm sunshine from St Savin up the Val d’Azun to Arras, through the villages of Gez and Salles and down to the valley floor onto the cycle road to Pierrfitte and up to Cauterets, the last 7km were in the snow, very cold but worth it for the views. The first climb over 1000m of 2009.
