Day 27 Urt to Saint Palais

Distance 30.2 miles

Ascent 402 metres Descent 400 metres

Shorter distances but harder work for the next few days as we climb up into the Pyrenees.

We are now on the last page of the Michelin road map and after tomorrow will have to rely solely on Christophe. If we can curb his desire to take us on mountain bike routes all will be well.

The idea was to throw away each page after use but Alison still has the full set.
Extra weight to carry.

Alison is thinking of using them as wallpaper for her downstairs loo and is trying to work out how will she manage to display our route when it is on both sides of a page.

Therapy is ongoing and progress could be slow.

Now this is how it should be after a hot day’s ride. Outside our hotel for the night.

We learned today that we are officially known as Bikegrims. We are not happy. It doesn’t sound very jolly to us.

A glimpse of tomorrow’s challenge.

An early night for the big day tomorrow.

  1. Glad you’re saving the map pages, you might need them for the return trip!
