Today's ride: big col stats (100km/1,800m+ vertical) sans big col. Cruising endless miles of empty roads like this.
Village of Arties (Val d'Aran, Spain) seems to have a thing for bikes & colourful cattle. What's not to love?
What a day to see cols with our visitor! Below/in/above clouds. Many cyclists. Cattle & horses. Sunshine happiness 
Middle of a heatwave? Time to head for the hills! 
Col d'Aspin was wonderfully refreshing. Moooooo! 
Typical day at the Aspin? Kindof Beautiful roll with les Roses des Pyrenees. Bien joue tout le monde!
Walkiiiiiiies! Lovely little stroll with friends. As usual, passing plenty of curious cattle. Mooooo!
Not been riding enough lately, but at least when I do get out it looks like this! Love the Hourquette d'Ancizan!
Bit of a traffic jam in Sainte-Marie de Campan this morning! Mooo! More of the same up the Aspin. Glorious day!
Does winter riding get any better than this? Unbelievable day playing on the Col d'Aspin!
Well good morning! When you wake up to find the farmer has put cows in a field literally 3m from your front door!
Short stroll to check out our new locale. Love how the inquisitive neighbours look up from their morning snack
Another wonderful summer's day up near the Hourquette d'Ancizan. Always nice to stop & say hello to the locals.
Let's take a selfie! Oh... and another picture of the cows. Because you can never have enough pictures of cows!
I often ride this road but drove today. Traffic here can be tricky as you see. Imagine negotiating this on a bike!
Bit of a traffic jam out riding today. Well, traffic of the bovine kind Glorious day up the Hourquette & Aspin!
Things to do this arvo, so little spin up the Aspin & to Lac de Payolle was all there was time for today. Oh well!
First evening back in the Pyrenees. Little walk around the new neighbourhood & introductions with the locals. Mooooo!
Early morning views around la Croix Blanche. More great trails & lucky cattle up here
As we're here: short walk up to the ridge & back. Funny how the cows pick a spot with the best view to relax, huh?
Woke up to this view right outside our front door. So beautiful! Misty hills down the road weren't bad either!
Gotta love a climb where last few kays are 10% pavé! Cattle here impressive too, esp. ones with the odd udders!
Hike up to Lac d'Oô. Lovely autumn colours & beautiful views. Pratiwi being brave with the locals too. Mooooo!
Time to head home. Past the lakes, amazing views, waterfall, cattle (mooooo!) and the rest.
On the way to Cabane de Bouleste. Pratiwi doesn't trust me to take enough pictures of the stunning scenary. WTF?!
