On September the 21st 2009 this challenging route will begin at Handaye on the Atlantic coast on the border of France and Spain. Linking together paths on the French and Spanish sides of the Pyrenees, the trip will cross high mountain passes, steep technical ascents and descents. Breath taking valleys, lakes, flora and fauna (bears!) will all form part of this incredible journey. After approximately 1000 Kilometres of distance and an immeasurable quantity of ascent and descent the journey will end at Banyuls-Sur-Mer on the Mediterranean coast at the foothills of the Pyrenees. The route is planned to take 16 days cycling and 4 rest days, averaging 60 km a day.
