Yes Mike, it is.

I did it twice last week, both times as nice as when we did it back in 2011.

The descent of Luz Ardiden was still as great too, thoughly enjoyed that again

LOL

I don't know if I want to do it from the Dark Side (La Minge), even Rob doesn't like it.

What is a nice climb, is the Col d'Aspin, but it would mean riding back up the dark side, once you'd done, as there's no loop back to Bareges.

Best get in training then Mike
