short notice pico's and pyrenees spare place

What the pyrenees did to my brake pads

my rear pads changed out today, methinks i may have worn em out , what do you guys think ? any life left ?



fronts were nearly the same i have changed them as well.

Day 7 begins

Another cracking day and a fantastic route courtesy of Mick

start along the d117 then to the gorges of st georges



entering the gorges



Not the best road surface through here (bit bumpy) and some of the road repairs were a sprinkling of tar and very loose patches of chippings thrown down , however that said the scenery was STUNNING, and we were soon off the loose stuff and onto the decent roads again





isnt this just Lush



then Mick says "im gonna take you to a Ski resort i know" what he really meant was some fantastic roads up a mountain LOL




all this fast furious tight and twisty riding is giving us a Thirst






we have packed a lunch today so decide to find somewhere nice to go eat it more devilish roads





Then our leader turns up a nice little road and takes us here









so we find a nice spot to eat our lunch ( lucious bread, palma ham, camemburg *sp) NICE




After lunch we revisit some places that were damp the other day (what a spectacular sight when the clouds have lifted.





Now we are heading out of France into Andorra via the high route



I am thinking this if fan dabby dozy up the col de puymorons





then i am introduced to the massive pass de casa



now we are at a height twice that of Ben Nevis on smooth tarmac in sunshine (tis a tad chilly though LOL)

A height profile of todays run



dropping down through the andorran shopping centre and out into Spain ( no need to stop) then once in spain and introduced to a fast flowing section of the n260 its time for a break again



Mick took us back towards this place (does it look familiar ) but now its DRY and sunny Yeehaa here we go again only quicker






Views are amazing as usual




roads are fantastic (hope your all sick by now LOL :-p )




and just to end the day nicely another run along our racetrack leading to Mick's pad

Tomorrow is another day and its sun, seafood, sea, and mountains LOL stay tuned folks

Awful pics!
