Caught up on the descent from Pont d'Espagne. What a REALLY bad tarmac, but oh what beautiful views once you get to the top. And at the refuge really ate the tastiest and biggest point of berry pie (local speciality) of our two weeks in the Pyrenees.

Climbing on this tarmac is not an issue, the gradients are. But descending is a real disaster, so take your time and watch out!

The photo shows the end point, we had walked up the footpath for a bit after our ride.

Meegepakt op de afdaling van Pont d'Espagne. Wat een VRESELIJK slecht asfalt, maar oh wat een mooi uitzicht als je eenmaal boven bent. En bij de refuge echt de lekkerste en grootste punt bessentaart (lokale specialiteit) gegeten van onze twee weken in de Pyreneeën.

Klimmen op dit asfalt is geen issue, de stijgingspercentages wel. De percentages die op deze site worden gemeld kloppen niet. Ik heb het dan over het laatste stuk (10-12% volgens de grafiek). 10% is zeg maar het minimum, je rijdt hele stukken 16 en hij knalt een paar keer naar 20%. Het dalen is dan ook erg link door het asfalt en de enorme snelheid die je genereert op die steile stukken. Neem dus je tijd en pas goed op. De weg is ook smal en af en toe komt er een auto omhoog.

De foto toont het eindpunt, we waren een stukje het wandelpad opgelopen na onze rit.
