I've been over it a few times now, usually en route to Spain on the bike. The best bit for me is seeing it in the distance for the first time when heading south - less than 200 miles to go, ice-cold beer awaits!
I didn't like it much the last time I used it in June this year though - heavy rain all the way across the Massif.....waterproof bike gear is very rarely properly waterproof!
