Pont D’Espagne

Someone is going to ask “what was you favourite ride?”
Of course that is like picking your favourite child. They are all different.
But… while I am sitting and thinking about today’s ride it’s a hard choice. Scenery, diversity, a walk in the middle (even if we were wearing our MTB shoes), a lunch that couldn’t be beat (thanks Arlo’s Guthrie), waterfalls, improving fitness, strength and climbing technique, a descent with steep hairpins, and long gradual sweeping stretches. Today is a strong contender.

Up, up, up almost to the Spanish border, and a visit to Lac de Gaube with the 3,298m Vignemal in the background. It’s the highest French Pyrenean peak and is divided by the French Spanish border. Magical.Meer informatie
