The day after the Tourmalet presented an even bigger day of climbing: two major climbs totalling about 5600 feet. Neither was exceptionally difficult though, and we had yet another day of beautiful weather. The first climb was Aspin, then a steep descent down into the valley and the town of Arreau, then up Peyresourde and down again into another valley and the town of Luchon. 40 miles, 5600 feet.
