Pyrenees in the rain

An easy flight and smooth transfer found us in Vernajoul near Foix by noon today. We spent a little while building the bikes and had a great lunch courtesy of our hosts at Cycle Pyrenees. Then it was time to ride.

We had a very pleasant easy spin for a couple of hours but got caught in a torrential downpour- fortunately with just 3km to go. As I sit uploading this iPhone shot of the view from my window before dinner you can see that the rain has set in this evening. From the sound of things we may get a window of opportunity for a dry ride tomorrow before a thunderstorm in the afternoon... Here's hoping!
