Note: the only official Raid Pyreneen is the one from Cyclo Club Béarnais Cyclotourisme you send them about £10 and a stamped (french) addressed envelope. They send you the route info and a card to be stamped at shops along the way. You also get official labels for your bike. When complete the ride you send them the card and they send you a medal.
Everything else you do yourself - you don't have to pay £100s to a poncey tour operator who will rush you to their schedule and and find the worst food along the way. The Cyclo Club Bearnais have only just caught up with the 20th century, I hope they never make it to the 21st.
