OK - thread dredge here. Me & the GF are going touring in the Pyrenees. The plan is Perpignan to Bayonne in 2weeks. I'm looking here for suggestions.
We've booked a B&Bs in St Laurent-de-Neste and Argeles-Gazost (nr Lourdes) to have some luxury while hitting the big cols (with the bags left behind!). But apart from that, we've not planned much yet. I quite fancy some Cathar castles at the start, having ridden through Carcassonne a few years ago and heard about all that history.
Does the LFGSS collective have any good suggestions of places and rides?
In particular, does anyone know which (if any) cols are passable laden without wanting to lie down at the side of the road and die? (The aforementioned noble, Rapha-esque suffering I can live with.) We both have decent bikes with a spinney enough granny gear to make it up the vicious hills in the far North of Scotland, but they are short and we could rest on the downs....
