Bikes: Ever changing..as of 2-24-09: 2003 Giant TCR Team Once, Sampson titanium, 1992 Paramount Series 3, 2003 Cervelo P3, 70s Raleigh Record fixed gear, 70s Fuji SL-12 commuter, mid 90s Klein MTB. Plus two or three frames lurking, plus 5 wife/kids rides
I rode several of those climbs last year (Pailheres, Chiola, Aspin). I stayed in Foix. The back side of Pailheres was actually pretty bad pavement. Most of the rest of the routes I took had excellent pavement.
