I can’t remember who said in the mental health thread that you’d feel better if you just got on a BMX and I’m calling with the family…well, glamping…and I hopped on one and for 10 minutes all was good until the kid asked for his bike back.

Col d’Aubisque yesterday after a night bivvying high up by a lake at the Spanish border.

Ah, I was up there last weekend. Beautiful spot. Did those big Pyrenean mountain dogs come and bother you?

Excellent! - yep, one of the monsters had its face in the lunch plate of someone on the next table when we were on top of the Aubisque.

Apart from them there were plenty of herds of cows and sheep to negotiate. It was so beautiful. Thinking about doing Superbagneres this weekend while the weather’s still good.

Nice one. The views from the top of Superbagneres are next level. It’s a tough climb too. Had an amazing ride up Col des Tentes too. Goes up from Luz St-Sauveur and is the highest road in the Pyrenees. Otherworldly up there.

That sounds very cool! We once stayed the night on the Pic du MIDI and got a look at the cosmos through the massive telescope at 4am. It blew my tiny mind! This was a photo later the same day looking towards Spain.

Incredible achievement! Auckland to Wellington in less than a day.

I mean, I average 35km per hour on the bike in the gym over 40 minutes, and I’m sweating my tits off and blowing like a whale at the end. To maintain that speed for 18½ hours outdoors with inclines and wind is just phenomenal!
