The night at the Col was rather cool an in the morning clouds were hanging low. On able to keep warm on the bike I took my raincoat and wore gloves. I did not cycle faster then 50 km/h, to prevent my bicycle becoming unstable and hard to steer. The pass road was quiet, just some cyclists on light racing bikes. The route was along small villages and green meadows with goats or cows.
In the Garonne valley I had to decide for the high passes or the lower route in the northern Pyrenees. Because it was still very cloudy and I did not like the risk, cycling through cold rain or having no views at all, I opted for the northern route (as planned by Komoot). This does not mean, that this is a horizontal road, in contrary I had to cross a lot of valleys with steep roads. At least I could see more than clouds and in the afternoon the sun started shining here.
Near Bagnère de Bigorre some roads with higher traffic were unavoidable, but there were no problems. The last kilometers for Lourdes, the road was straight and smooth.
I went to a camping near to the railway station, so I can walk to the center of Lourdes tomorrow easily.
Distance: 100 km.
