Pyrenees 2023

A rare opportunity 😉

Near the foot of the Pyrenees mountains.

This marks the start of the ride in the Pyrenees towards the Atlantic Ocean.

First stop over in Spain.

Every Spanish village in the mountains seems to have an ancient bridge over the river 👍

I had planned to get into Andorra by a gravel road pass, and where the tarmac ended, there was a sign about not going in large groups and no racing. This is great because it means that it is a popular offrod route and probably not too difficult for my heavy bike with road tires.

So I could actually go that way to Andorra and continued on the dirt road.

But 15 minutes later, the road was blocked by a bar and a sign saying that the road was not open before May 31 😖

There must be a certain Spanish logic in this kind of signposting, but I can’t really figure it out ….
