Steady but relentless climb. We are the red diamond on the map, having started by the chateau to the left of Pech.
Going by the roll call of riders painted onto the road, it looks like this route was used on the TdF this year. Must look that up later, unless someone can put a link in the comments.
Suns out now we have rounded the corner. Lovely!
