johnstrac Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 In Spain I've done a few climbs in Murcia but for "big" climbs only the Col du Portillion and you're back in France when you get to the top. I've done lots in the Pyrenees though. Link to comment

Need to get out to Murcia, but would need to get fit again for that, one of these years Link to comment

If so, I did that as well, wet day on the Tourmalet and upper reaches of the Hautacam. 1 Link to comment

Aye, it was a tad wet and cold - only time ive ever had a touch of hypothermia was coming down Tourmalet, survived though. Did the Etape the following year as well, only times Ive done it - good but expensive weekends Link to comment

johnstrac Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Next years Tour route looking a bit "lumpy". The Etape is (apparently) stage 20. https://www.letour.fr/en/overall-route Link to comment
