Col d'Aubisque
This Pyrenean hors catégorie, often clouded in mist, rises to 1709m. The second most visited climb in the history of the Tour de France, Octave Lapize famously declared the Tour organisers 'assasins' on his arrival at the summit in 1910.
Read about the Aubisque in Inside Stories, a collection of Rapha Story labels.

ahhh, the Aubisque. A climb that I have only done once, but have amazing memories of it. the initial part passing through that little village. Then smashing it up to the ski station. The day we did it, there was to much snow, so it was closed to descend the other side. Shame.
I big ringed this climb, 53t, finding it easier than the Marie Blanque that we had previously encountered. Having said that, I had just returned from a 3week stint racing in Belgium, so the fitness wasn't bad. if you can get the chance, do it.
oh yeah, i put it onto the inner chainring for this: http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v195/168/105/540455561/n540455561_2308347_1990.jpg

and when you do Col du Soulor before the Aubisque, even nicer… Soulor is wonderful, narrow street, wonderful quiet valley, no traffic..
