Is there a better image that expresses how it feels to ride up the Pyrenees early in the morning, sniffing that air, breathing the morning, feeling the freedom and climbing the summit? I’m sure there are many, but this is mine, on the climb to Col d’Aubisque at 1700m on the 2016 Trans-Pyrenees Tour. And that’s exactly where we go again this year on our 2019 Route de France.
