Day Seven: Sauveterre-des-Comminges to St-Girons

Back to a more normal day today with two big climbs (Col de Portet d'Aspet and Col de la Core, about 2300m over 100kms), punctuated by lunch. This was followed by two minor climbs (250m?) over some beautiful narrow country lanes and then a great roll/time trial into St-Girons, our home for the next two nights.

We are staying at Chateau de Beauregard (www.chateaubeauregard.net) which is Alistair's favourite hotel on the tour. It's not too shabby. A swim followed by a magnificent dinner at a beautifully refurbished abbey overlooking St-Girons.
