Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

An alternative to the Etape - Ride the Pyrenean Bear

The best cyclosportive in the Pyrenees is L'Ours (The Bear). The route is every bit as hard as an Etape du Tour with 3 Cat 1 climbs followed by the steep HC climb to Pla d'Adet where Hincapie won in 2005.

You can have good accomodation, cheap entry and easy transfers making it a breath of fresh air.
