The Pyrenees
Anyone done the length of the Pyrenees off road ? Was wondering how it compares to the TET in difficulty and how long it would take to do the whole length or at least from San Sebastián to Andorra. I am trying to plan a route for next year from Bilbao / Santander to Andorra - off road , using CRF250s and staying in hotels . Thanks
Re: The Pyrenees

Re: The Pyrenees
Was thinking of this for next year for myself, but I would probably have to incorporate more roadwork than you due to my time constraints.

Re: The Pyrenees
Yes. That’s the route I am referring to. Is 4 days enough to get to Andorra ? Normally do about 120 to 140 miles a day off road . Did you stay in hotels or camp ?Tramp wrote:Your refering to the transpyrenees wikiloc route....the first part from st jean pied de port is easy scenic stuff, from jaca to andorra gets better then its real good to the med.....chose time of year well sept to early november us best...spring lasts till mid june in 2000ft high stuff

Re: The Pyrenees
Best routes are from East to West starting in Collioure using the RB 2 and RB 1 .......IMHO

Re: The Pyrenees
That's what I am building the 500 for as its got to the top of my bucket list. I will then cut north to Carcassonne and drown in red wine for a bit.

Re: The Pyrenees
My plan was cut over in the cathars region in france and do some balcony roads....the Navarre region in spain is heavily restricted now but still some grear c roads in them mountains and gravel to be found for them thats looking
Around espot and south west is best...
