  • Pulled together a route for the Biarritz to Barcelona trip.

    It's longer and has much more climbing than I'd like, but it hopefully avoids death-tunnels and motorways.

    If anyone wants to cast a critical eye over it to check if I've made any major errors, that would be fantastic!

  • In some spots, like 216km you have gravel shortcut rather than road. Is this intentional? I'd not do that if I was looking for speed - it's normally less drama and faster to stay on the road, even if the distance is higher.

    254k too, eg 25% gravel climb rather than using the road

    398km you're going through a tunnel marked "no bikes"

    475km stick to bigger road, same with 515km unless you want the town?

  • Amazing, thanks for taking the time to look over it.

    216 - A little gravel is ok I think that should be a pretty simple deviation, we have 5 days to cover the distance so it should be fine to get a little lost
    254 - 25% on gravel, no thanks! amended to the road
    398 - Well spotted, luckily there's a bike path around the outside
    475 & 515 - noted and amended

    All relatively easy fixes, I feel a bit more confident with the route now - just need to map out potential stops and wild camping spots, then we're golden.

    Really, thanks again!
