The Col du Tourmalet is the highest paved mountain pass in the Pyrénées mountain range. It's challenged Tour de France riders for over 100 years and, not coincidentally, lends its name to a track from local rock outfit Electricity for Everybody's latest album, Local Technique.
David Shepherd, Edmonton Centre MLA and avid cyclist, picked "Tourmalet", the album's title track, as his Song of the Week. The band's "catchy, big pop melodies" help fuel Shepherd's own cycling adventures, so why not join him in saying "farewell to summer" (okay, you might have already done that) and get motivated with "Tourmalet" by Electricity for Everybody.
