Plateau de beille part two

Yesterday and today a run three km up the mountain to the summit, then along an undulating xc ski trail to a more peaceful summit, this one the sound of cow bells, not a rock concert. That is the way of summit finishes in the tour. The most exciting, noisy, dramatic, colourful of all the stages and if you choose there is always somewhere more quiet and peaceful.
