CTC cycling tour Day 3, Argeles Gazost to Bagneres de Luchon (Tourmalet, Aspin & Peyresourde), 2019/07/08
清晨是陰天 天氣比較涼爽，但是沒下雨，今天早上我還特地帶上腿套。 用完早餐合影後出發，要先騎到呂聖索弗(Luz-Saint-Sauveur)，之後才開始爬圖爾馬萊特山(Col du Tourmalet)，出發後先沿著自行車道騎行，這條自行車道騎行的人不多，道路很平坦，道路前方和左側都可以看見不遠處的比利牛斯山群峰。
It was cloudy in the morning and the weather was cooler, but it didn't rain. I also took my leg cover with me this morning. After using breakfast and taking the photo, we start riding to Luz-Saint-Sauveur before climbing the Col du Tourmalet. After departure, we start riding along the bike path, which is not very popular, the road is very flat, the front and left side of the road can be seen not far from the Pyrenees mountain peak.
Then along the D921 road, I still wear too much in the morning. I had warmed up, stopped to take pictures of teammates and take off the leg sleeve. When it was on the bike again it had become the last one. Following the track, arrived at Luz-Saint-Sauveur along D918 towards The Turmalet Hill.
接著沿D921道路前行

呂聖索弗(Luz-Saint-Sauveur)
呂聖索弗也是庇里牛斯山區熱門健行路線，冰斗Cirque de Gavarnie和Néouvielle 湖群的出入門戶。位於法國邊境，庇里牛斯山著名的登山路線之一，Néouvielle 湖群保護區。這些冰蝕湖群的周邊頂峰約有3000多公尺，這邊的路線並不困難，路線規劃可長可短。在Luz-Saint-Sauveur有多家戶外用品店，還有家樂福超市、麵包店、肉店和餐廳。離多個著名登山路線不遠，也是Néouvielle登山者補給的好地方。
Luc Saint-Sauveur is also the gateway to the Cirque de Gavarnie and Néouvielle lakes on the popular hiking route in the Pyrenees Mountains. On the French border, one of the famous climbing routes of Mount Pyrenees, the Lake Néouvielle Reserve. The surrounding peak of these ice -corrosion lakes is about 3000 meters high. These routes here are not difficult, the routes can be long or short. There are several outdoor shops in Luz-Saint-Sauveur, as well as Carrefour supermarkets, bakeries, butchers and restaurants. Not far from several famous climbing routes, it is also a great place for the climbers to resupply.
Today's long route extends by climbing to Luz Ardiden ski resort, which starts with Luz-Saint-Sauveur. It's a beautiful ascent and is really suitable for riders with very strong legs. In 2003 the Tour de France won the 15th stage through Mount Turmalet, the most famous of Lance Armstrong was the last climb of the Grand Slam finisher Luz Ardiden that fell because of a spectator next to him, but he finally took the station win.

途中會經過一個比較大的小鎮巴雷熱 (Barages) 海拔1200m，再爬升五百米，會抵達海拔1700米的La mongie纜車站。這裡有很大的停車場，常常是大賽的終點站。纜車可以上到南峰（Pic du Midi，2877米)，南峰上有觀景平台和一座天文館，平臺上可以飽覽整個比利牛斯山脈風景。
On the way through a larger town of Barages at an altitude of 1200m, riding uphill another 500m, and reach the La Mongie cable car station at an altitude of 1,700 meters. There is a large parking lot, often the end of the race. The cable car can go up to the Pic du Midi (2877 m), with a viewing platform and a planetarium on the southern peak. The platform offers views of the entire Pyrenees Mountains.
There will also be a five - kilometer uphill of four hundred meters to the highest point, along the way there will be some grazing cattle and sheep. In the National Park of Mount Pyrenees, there are plenty of cattle and cattle (French: transhumance) that can be cattle, sheep or horses. From the end of June to mid-September, they will stay in the mountains to graze, and then go down for the winter, a thousand-year-old grazing tradition that has been in the Hills of Pyrenees.
Meet Lucia, get water and Power bar, ready to do the final sprint. Towards the top of the mountain the slope began to steepen. Arrive to the Turmalet Pass, the wind was very windy and a little cold. Photo with the signposts and the Lapize statue, then we rode downhill. There are two statues on top of the Turmalet mountain, the Jacques Goddet Memorial Statue and the Octave Lapize Giant Statue. The Jacques Goddet Award is awarded to the first rider to cross the Turmalet mountains. Former Tour de France director Jacques Goddet.
Octave Lapize statue on Tourmalet: The ancient and modern mountain stages, the early mountain stages were long distances, climbed more and more, almost 1.5 times to twice the length of modern events, for example, in the 1910 mountain stages, the runners had to ride 615km of the Pyrenees Mountain in two stops. Octave Lapize was also the winner of the Tour de France. Octave Lapize, who was the second person to go up the hill in 1910, shouted when he saw the race staff, "Murderer, you murderers, I'll quit the race when I go down the hill!" (It seems that all the cyclists have been scammed to say so) Lapize not only did not retire, he also overtook the previous cyclist in the downhill to win the classic single-stop championship.
圖馬列山（Col du Tourmalet）是法國南部庇里牛斯山的最高路段，也是環法自行車大賽最有名的登山站之一，從1910年開始將庇里牛斯山加入戰局後，圖馬列山就成為環法賽史上選手最常要挑戰的山頭。圖馬列山海拔2115公尺，它不但是法國南部的滑雪勝地，也是法國羊乳酪的重要產地。史上第一位贏得本站冠軍的是法國車手拉皮茲（Octave. Lapize），他最後也順利穿著領先的黃衫進入巴黎，勇奪1910年環法賽冠軍。
Col du Tourmalet, the highest pass of mount Pyrenees in southern France and one of the most famous mountain stops in the Tour de France, has been the most challenged mountain in the Tour de France since 1910, when it was added to the race. At 2,115 meters above sea level, the Turmalet mountains are not only a ski resort in the south of France, but also an important source of French goat's cheese. The first man in history to win the race was French cyclist Octave Lapize, who eventually entered Paris in a leading yellow jersey to win the 1910 Tour de France.
Then put on my coat and prepare for a long descent, downhill 17km to the east of Sainte-Marie-de-Campan. The fingers have been pressing the shift lever, fingers and arms are very sour, reach the flat section of the road to stop to rest. It didn't take long to get to the small town of Sainte-Marie-de-Campan, where the British couple had coffee in a cafe around the corner.
The town has a famous statue of The Tour de France's Eugène Christophe with a fork. In 1913, Eugène Christophe had a chance to win the Tour de France that year, 18 minutes ahead of the other cyclists. The fore fork broke when downhill from the Toremalet, but under the rules of the race was not allowed to get other assistance, had to spend hours walking down the hill, and finally found a Sainte-Marie-de-Campan's iron factory, repairing his fork himself. In the end, his total was 7th.
Arriving at the town's follow-up D918, Lucia chose to have a picnic at a table and chair by the river. And it was also picnic-style, and the meal was also sandwich, fruit, and drink. After a short break, we prepare to ride 12km to another uphill 600m to today's second mountain stop of Mount the Col d'Aspin.
今天也是以野餐型式，餐點也是三明治, 水果, 飲料
繼續沿著D918前行，一開始沿著河邊，道路兩旁有樹木，沿途都有樹陰，騎起自行車很是涼快。不知不覺間就快抵達山頂Col d'Aspin ，山頂前已經看不到高大樹木，又變成草原景觀。待會還要爬今天最後一座山佩爾蘇德山Col de Peyresourde，照幾張相片後套上外套後開始下坡，
Continue along the D918, starting along the river, with trees on both sides of the road, trees shading along the way, and riding a bike that is cool. Unwittingly, you reach the top of the mountain, and before you reach the top of the mountain, you can't see the tall trees, and then turn into a grassland landscape. The final mountain of the day will also climb the last mountain of the Col de Peyresourde, take a few photos and then put on the jacket and start the descent.
