At work today, so just popped out at lunch to pick up some currency, weetabix and malt - meeting Harry later at the staion to catch the 1605.
Weather forecast does not look good - showers forecast for Lourdes and Pau for Sunday. This will mean inevitable rain for anywhere above 1500m.
I've opted not to take any longs or overshoes - I hope I will be ok. I have just some armwarners and a lightweight rainjacket. At least the bad conditions will help with dehydration issues. But as a tentative descender, I'll be even more anxious with wet tarmac below me. I think the large groups hurtling along the first, flattish 100km may also run into difficulties - I guess I'll have to take my chances.

7.25 sounds like a pretty damn good time in the circumstances. The descent of the Tourmalet must have been hairy in those conditions. So well done mate. I feel bad that you didn't get to see the views. You're going to have to go back!
