Here's one of the horses hanging out on the side of the road on the col d'Aubisque.

It was a foggy day meaning that you could just about smell the critters that had wandered onto the road before you could see them.

I did alright until I almost wiped out spectacularly on the valley road while taking off my rain cape. The jacket got stuck and I freaked when I saw a truck approaching on the narrow road. I came close to eating it, but somehow corrected it. That would have been the end of the trip.

Good times.
