Pictures from my ride across the Pyrenees
Hello everyone,
Here are some pictures from my ride in the Pyrenees, coast to
coast, early this month. Just a basic photo show now, I haven't
put any day to day narratives or descriptions yet.

Thank you CL39 so much for the beautiful images. It brings tears to my eyes, it is such a beautiful dream trip. On Day 7. St. Beat to St. Giron there is a winged monument. What was that monument dedicated to? It would make a beautiful monument to a bicyclist.

Fabio Casartelli died there during the 1995 Tour de France. It is a beautiful momument to him indeed.

Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Tomorrow I leave for a 10 day bike tour and I'm nervous. The photos of your trip have reassured me that it's all worth partaking. Thank you again.

Chuckie, Have a great trip. Score another 
for bikeforums!
Tomorrow, a friend and I too leave on a 2 week trip to bike from my home in NJ to Maine and Brunswick, CA. 8 days to get to the border and from there we're playing it by ear, depending on what we want to do.

As for food I bought some fruits in the morning and
ate throughout the ride and for dinner, baguette and canned meat to make my own
sandwich. So I was able to keep the cost down.
