It's hard to do a bike trip...without a bike. Etape - Day One

The airlines managed to make a bike disappear. But David (our French friend and guide) had one waiting for me this morning. Amazing that he can make a carbon bike appear in just a few hours.

After breakfast, we headed out to "stretch the legs" with a two hour climb. We're surrounded by them here at the base of the Tourmalet in the Pyrenees.

I've wanted to climb the Aspin (famous TdF climb) for years. David suggested a twist. It turned out to be a great twist. Captured some of the video here tomorrow (when upload finishes).
