Cycling Across the Pyrenees: What Have We Got Ourselves Into? Part 1

Описание: In 2023 we embarked on an epic cycling journey across the Pyrenees. Over 800 kilometres and 24 iconic climbs await us as we ride from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.

In this episode, we face an intense start to the journey:
🚴‍♂️ Battling through a torrential thunderstorm just 20 km from home.
🚴‍♀️ Conquering our first climbs in the stunning Basque Country.
💪 Pushing through the toughest climb of the trip—the Col de Marie Blanque— which tested our limits like no other.
🏔️ Ending on a high with the magnificent ascent of the Col d’Aubisque, a true highlight of the Raid Pyrenees route.

We hope this gives you a real insight into what it is like to go cycle touring in the Pyrenees — unpredictable weather, relentless climbs, and breathtaking scenery. If you are dreaming of your next adventure, our 3 part series will inspire you to tackle your own epic ride.
