Some great images there, John. I've been up a couple of the Alpine climbs 
(in a car!), but never any of the Pyreneean ones. Cycling is one tough 
sport.

As you saw from this week's Pano we went to the Atlantic Midi this week to 
visit friends. Stopping for a quick break west of Tarbes we stumbled across 
this statue at L'Aire des Pyrénées on the A64... It is there to commemorate 
the first visit of the Tour de France to the Col de Tourmalet in 1910; 
apparently as part of seven great climbs that day, which started at 03:30, 
riding 15kg bikes they travelled 326km which the winner completed in 14 
hours!
