stumbled upon it by mistake looking around in G-Maps.

those roads look crazzzzzy. i have zoomed in on a few and they put roads like the leven loop and dukes to shame...

hhhhmmm wonder if i can get a cppl weeks off in the summer :smt077

Re: OMG
 

Most of the roads in France are awesome, quiet, very well maintained and clean, nothing over here comes close IMO.

Re: OMG
 

Just come back from cycling in the Pyrenees, a bit further east than that but can say the roads are pretty good. I agree with Phil, we don't have the terrain to demand building such great roads. Check this out...

The road to Luz Ardiden

Hardly a vehicle on it in summer, it just goes to the ski station.

Road + Mountain = Fun.

Simple as that.

Re: OMG

If you fancy that PM 'Nigel' or his daughter 'Trickywoos' on here. Nigel and his wife own and run a B&B near Perpignan, and Nigel owns an SV, knows the roads well, and is happy to do local tours.

One year I'm going to talk Specialone into visiting that region on the dirt bikes for a week. You can ride Biarittz to Perpignan without touching tarmac.

Anyone fancy this?

I dooo!

Re: OMG
 

More than likely, been to that area last year, from Millau into Spain and then back again.

from Point A on your map, go through Andora and then into Spain, then head for the little town of Sort and then back into France again.

Take a few days and explore, that was the most memorable bit of riding from our trip last year.

Re: OMG
 

Fizz did you do the old border crossing road adjacent to the A9/E15?

Re: OMG
 

I've got no idea ! I just followed Viper who had it planned and loaded into his Satnav, it was f*cking mental though.

I wrote a trip report about it, which might give you a better idea of where we went !

Tis here
