Yesterday (Tuesday) we climbed the Col du Soulor, then continued on a beautiful balcony road on our way up to the Col d’ Abisque. It was one of the prettiest rides I’ve ever done, so rather than talk about it, I’m just going to share a lot of pictures. And yes, I was “attacked” by sheep. They were very interested in the food I was carrying in my jersey! They aren’t so cute close up, by the way…There were more cows and sheep than humans at the summit. All free range, which I loved!

This was 55 mile ride with about 6000 feet of climbing. Yeah, I was tired afterwards. That’s why I couldn’t post anything last night!

On the way up to the Col du Soulor:

Vicious looking, isn’t it??

At the top of the Col du Soulor, heading off to the Col d’ Abisque:

The balcony road up to the Abisque had incredible views:

One of 2 tunnels along the way to the summit of the Col d’ Abisque (The second was longer, darker and quite spooky):
