Here is a summary of what we have learned so far.

Did it privately in 2011, not the 100 hours because a change of bike was needed half way. Enjoy… http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/raid2011

Thanks for the link, I'll have a read of that.

Best of luck with the Raid.

One tip for you is that it is well worth the slight deviation to include the Col de Marie-Blanque, which is an optional climb in Raid terms but one of the best in the Pyrenees.

Thanks for the tip.

We will be doing a bit of route planning in due course :-)

And remember Marie blanque comes before Aubisque and Tourmalet...
