Done in the sequence after the col d'irey and the descent to saint Michel (degraded asphalt, see col d'irey experience).
Found it less sustained than the latter, even if the ride to Elhulsaro remains sustained, then calms down as you continue on to Arnostegui.
Beware of the many dung beetles and pilgrims that dot the road in summer 😅
Effectuée dans l enchaînement après le col d irey et descente sur saint Michel (asphalte dégradée cf expérience col d irey)
Trouvée moins soutenue que cette dernière même si la poursuite jusqu’à Elhulsaro reste soutenue puis cela se calme en poursuivant sur arnostegui
Attention aux nombreuses bouses et pèlerins qui parsèment la route en période estivale 😅
