Ride across the Pyrenees cycling challenge

Ride Across the French Pyrenees - Coast to Coast - and Back !

1000 miles, 100'000 ft climbing, 12 days riding + 2 rest days.

August 29th to September 13th - 2019.  Contact me about signing up

Day 5 of the Pyrenees cycling trip ( 1st rest day ). Rest day in the town of Collioure on the Mediterranean. Pictured above is the port in Collioure, with a 14th century fortress, not the one up on the hill top, but right there next to the boats. This is one tough rest day, too many cafes, restaurants and Gelato ice cream vendors. Ride stats for the day: 0 miles, 0 ft. climbing, and a lot of ice cream.
