This year I cylced Alpe d'Huez, Croix de fer, Les deux Alpes and La Serrenne. I have been asked to do the Raid Pyrenean at the ripe old age of 51. We would do this without a support vehicle. I am looking for advice. Anyone done it, can anyone compare with he above? Many thanks!
No one told me about that hill!!!

    Do it, it's a beautiful adventure... can be tough, especially if the weather gets in the way... but you will manage. We started in 16 and we finished in 16, so perfectly doable, with the right training.

    Ditch the fancy equipment and go for reliable... you will go through very few towns and mechanicals can end your journey early

    For a guided tour I think this is very cheap. There usually asking stupid amounts of money for stuff like this. This is 1 I'm deffo going to consider maybe yr after next.
