Accelerated descent of the Col du Tourmalet to Luz St Sauveur in the Pyrenees, on road bikes in fine weather in July 2007. Video was taken using handlebar-mounted actioncam, hence slightly bouncy quality.

  • what's the music? i like

  • no idea, couldn't use my original choice (Porcupine Tree) due to enlightened approach to music use in videos!! If certain copyright owners were more with it you might have ended up buying the original track as a download. There we are, that's my gripe aired!

  • I know what you mean lol. Is there snow on this pass in April ? Cheers. Im cycling West Yorks to Gibraltar in April and was thinking of going via Tourmalet (Mad eh!) all in 2 weeks too.....

  • Tourmalet is normally closed till end of May, so take some snow chains! There are other routes, though the Tourmalet is somewhat iconic. If you don't make it in April, make sure you get out there in the summer. It's awesome

  • This makes me realize I live in the wrong country. Je vais habite a la France. Perdon my French. =)

  • Vous avez raison, le cyclisme en France est magnifique! How it would be great to have Alps and Pyrenees climbs in the UK

see all
