Not bad if you stay on the coast but you'll miss the best bits up from st seb to pamplone and a great road up from there over to st jean on the french side. Watch out for the weather, it can be FILTHY up in the hills even in summer!

this would be an awesome ride, but pretty tough on fixed i reckon! Once you get over the french border its just a long dirty road right the way to biarritz with some monster climbs (a few great views to be had though mind)

if you happen to be in San Sebastian don´t hesitate to contact the locals! although I still think that´s a pretty tough ride, bear in mind that this is a very mountainous area...
anyway, here we are www.fixedgeardonostia.com

the same on facebook! good luck and stick to the coastal area!

Hmmm, wish I'd searched this before..

Might be doing this tomorrow, in reverse. Is 7 hrs too ambitious? I'm fairly strong, and no stranger to 100+ miles. Looks to be a few serious cols along the way

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
