Day Three: Oloron to Saint-Savin


Another day of perfect weather as we entered the Haute Pyrenees for the first time. Two big climbs again (about 2500m climbing and 95 kms) and everyone seemed to cope well. I certainly found the day much less strain than yesterday!

We have a rest day tomorrow (or optional ride day for those keen to push the envelope) here in Saint-Savin...a beautiful little village a little south of Lourdes. There's a rumour Alan may choose to travel there and take the holy waters instead of riding.

Early morning roll out to the start of Col de Marie-Banque
