2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted August 26, 2018 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 All Wheelers safely over the Tourmalet.....the first time. Iain Couttie has just left the top of the Aspin and is looking good. Only 2 climbs left! Lovely day for an Pyrenean picnic, although must be hot climbing on a bike!

Where can I find the full report from you guys? Don’t think anyone is ready to talk about it yet. Usually get that “horrible but glad I did it” feeling after a week or two but it was truly horrific and never to be repeated as far as I’m concerned. Just too gruelling. the event was brutal alone but when you factor in the sleep deprivation & the bickering it was just too much. I’d definitely cycle in the Pyrenees again tho- a col or two a day.

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted September 5, 2018 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Good summary Billy. Haven’t got much to add to this except that I think we all underestimated how difficult the event would be. I would also like to thank those that took on the lion's share of organising and driving, and to Billy's house for hosting the BBQ, and Paul especially for cooking the food. For our wee house I'd like to thank George for organising such nice accomodation - once we'd worked out how to get there it really was a wonderful location. Similarly, I'd like to thank Ginty and Charlie for the car hire and the driving. Both did a sterling job, even when tired and stressed. Thanks! Finally, the two Ia(i)ns cooked for our house. The food was great and the craic even better. Who can forget the two drunks shouting at each other about the existence/non-existence of God? All in all I had a splendid time. Would love to go back to the same place and ride for a week, ticking off the iconic climbs in a way compatible with drinking wine and fine dining! robster82, Iain67, XXX and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid I was so under weather I forgot to lift it. A Europcar employee is likely using it on his commute. Handy, as the nights start to draw in.
