Hello all,
We are going to be in the French Pyrenees this summer exactly when the Tour comes by and we want to see on of the stages. We are targeting Stage 12, on the final climb to Col de Peyresourde.
We won't be able to ride up there (wife's pregnant) so we'll take a car, and will probably settle at the beginning of the climb.
I'm attaching a map showing where the race comes from (top right) and where we'll be coming from (bottom center): http://i.imgur.com/fLfsari.jpg .We will be hiking in the area of Oô and our car will already be parked there and waiting for us on the day of the stage.
Do you know how early they are likely to close the road leading from Oô to the main tour road? Will we be able to find parking near the main road, if we arrive around noon? Will they at least let me drive towards there to drop off my wife and I'll go back to finding a parking place further away? How long will it take us to get off the main road and down to Luchon once the whole races comes through?
Any advice and tips you can share will be much appreciated!
Cheers
