Unfortunately, progress has ground to a halt but fear not, I was slaying some of the big cols in the Pyranees (highlights being Tourmalet, Hourquette, Aspin, Soulor & Aubisque). Had the best holiday ever basing ourselves in Bagnères-de-Bigorre which was a good out and back distance for the rides. Something really spiritual about climbing mountains on a bike hearing the cow and goat bells ringing out and children shouting 'allez allez' as you go by. My climbing is pretty good (Strava had me in the top 1/3 to 1/4 for the HC climbs - not too bad for a hired bike I'd never ridden before) but my descending is atrocious. Will hopefully have everything I need for final assembly by the end of next week for the HOB!
