From our base in Thuy you
are in a fantastic spot to explore the long valleys and rolling
foothills of this area on quiet traffic free roads or to challenge yourself
with the leg burning cols and famous climbs of the
Pyrenees.
Available at
"Allons-y" is a
selection of ride cards covering all abilities with clear routes mapped out from
which you can choose at your leisure.( Each plastic covered card is designed to
fit easily in your cycle jersey)
Alternatively we can organize a more structured training week
according to your requirements. Choose a selection from the list of cols /
climbs listed below which you fancy cycling and we can plan your week’s routes
for you and give full vehicle backup support.
These are just some of the major climbs in the area of the
Pyrenees accessible from Thuy. There are many more smaller climbs (under 1000m!)
which can be worked into a week’s plan or are included in our ride cards
selection.
For further information on the climbs listed above or others
that you could cover please don’t hesitate to
contact us.
