Col du Soulor Bicycle Descent in HD
Day 6 in Pyrenees: Col du Soulor.
This one felt slightly less difficult after Tourmalet, Ardiden and 2 x Hautacam, but still a category HC climb. The ride however was a bit longer than the rest due to our base in Luz St Sauveur ... and much of the climb was either in the mist or a cloud. Almost zero views, but we made it nevertheless.
Ian continued on to Col d'Aubisque while the two of us turned around and rode back to the base which is what is recorded on this extra long video.
