    It's great. Some of the best roads in the Pyrenees, well organised and a fun atmosphere. Probably the best sportive in the Pyrenees and one of the best in France too.

    thanks; how does it compare to L'Ardechoise and La Marmotte in difficulty? (the only other 2 I've done) I'll be going for the longest one. And is camping easy?

    It's not as hard, as it has less climbing that the Marmotte and less mileage than the Ardechoise. Still a challenge, several climbs and descents.
