Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.
Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

amazing
Yeah it was, was a fantastic route.
That's a fantastic ride, I hope you had some buddies to enjoy it with. I went from Calais to Madrid via Nantes, Bordeaux, la col du portalet, Pamplona, it was back in 2008 so not too many photos, but so much fun
Look into your photo box and show us some :) were you taking analog photos then?
No, digital, but a cheap one and a small SD card. I do have them on Facebook I think. Not sure if the album is public.
Nice! I rode the Portalet too, but from Spain into France.
It was a solo trip, and while i visited a friend and rode with him from Albacete to his home in Alicante, i have not met any other partners to ride along with for a while. Only at rest stops really met people. Kinda odd, usually i find some people to share a few days with. Still met really nice people.
I kinda started missing the loneliness of the spanish inland mountains on the second half of the trip. Although while i was there in the loneliness i was also thinking that it'd be nice to meet somebody at some point, haha.
