Col de Pailhères
Video starts from Axat, along the gorge created by the river Aude, a slight slope until you get to Usson Les Bains where we turn right to begin the striking uphill.
Col de Pailhères (called also Port de Pailhères) is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2,001 meters, located in the Ariège department of the French Pyrenees. It’s the second highest col in the French Pyrenees, after the Col du Tourmalet's 2,115 m.
The pass has been climbed several times in the Tour of France. There are 2 routes to climb the pass.
The east side with the long gentle section from Axat in the beginning, is a massive 36 km long ascent with a total vertical climb of 1600 m. The last section is the one that hurts. Each of a dozen tight hairpins is followed by a ramp seemingly steeper than the one before.
From the top we go down the descent to Ax-les-Thermes where video ends.

km,
I used the new Real feature to partially cut the descent part of the race, and it took me two hours ( hard and pleasant ). to reach the summit. Beautiful landscape that really gave me the desire to physically visit the place.
It worked with my Win7 computer without trouble
It worked alse fine with my new Win10 computer. You may need the elite support for the USB conection/Win10, with a standard procedure
