Another day in the Pyrénées. 3 of us decided to chip off work & avoid the rain in Toulouse
Another route ticked off from @petercossins.bsky.social Book. Today Ariege, from St Girons over Portet d’Aspet but we added Col de Menté for some extra leg pain. Recovery pints in Aspet to fuel the last 35km.

My wife said « it means something you have to be careful with when to add the a »
Yeah, well it’s acid innit!
Made her laugh anyway

A shorter spin this morning visiting Saubens cycling club. They had someone MCing and DJing at the base which left me with Blondie’s Call Me as an ear worm for the next 75km.
Some sossage at the refuelling station then the Chouquette (Choux pastry) climb
