Col du Aubisque. Woke up to rain, after coffee & croissant we set out up the Col. The ride starts out in the trees and climbs out into the meadows, this was my favorite climb of the trip, the views are spectacular, lots of waterfalls. About 4km to the top, came across a flock of sheep in the road, I was trailing a guy from Belguim, he made his way through the sheep with me following close behind. There were two Pyrenean Mountain dogs guarding the flock, they got between us and the sheep and kept a very close eye. This being the last ride of the trip I put everything into the climb, managed to complete it in 1:35. The top was very cold, the mist had rolled in and the wind had picked up.
