Hi, sounds great. Would be keen to see the route if you can share it?

I took it from here:
https://bikelondonbarcelona.com/
I emailed the guy on the website to say thanks for the route. Don't think he's on here.

I finished up work on a Thursday and got the train to portsmouth for the ferry; rolled off the ferry at Caen Friday AM into the darkness and onto some impressively quiet and or beautiful roads all the way down to Barcelona. Used booking.com and airbnb on the day to find a place to stay. I took a detour to Le Mans, not recommended, should have kept to the route. Nice climb between Albi and Carcassone, after which the seasonal weather went from Autumn back to Summer in southern France. Later on there is a good climb up the Col D'Ares over the pyrenees, would have been fantastic if the weather wasn't appalling.

We rode through Le Boulou from that route, but heading west along the Pyrenees. I'll have a look at that route. Could be an interesting tour one day.
