To Col de Portet d`Aspet

Last night there were heavy rain showers and they did not really stop in the morning. I had to pack a wet tent. The old railway track, I followed up to Mirepoix was barely visible after the town, but I tried to stay in the neighborhood and used little roads as far as possible. In Pamiers I followed the river until I arrived at the next old railway, now in use as a Voie Verte. I cycled  over the Viaduc de Vernaioul. That bridge has a lot of high arches.TransFrance_201407296144 This cycle path was in a much better condition as the previous one. There are also three tunnels on this part. The Voie Verte ends just before Saint Girons. In the town itself there are no indications, where the cycle path continues,  so I decided to use the Komoot variant to Moulis. That meant a nice climb at the end of the day. On 1070 m I found a nice camping at the col.
Distance today: 117 km
