Another nice day on the road and I was able to get over the border into Spain before the storms arrive. Managed to loose a bit of time along the way as a gear cable snapped. A road side repair job took a few mins and then I was on my way again.
The N121A tunnel was shut. Cyclist are banned from the tunnel anyway, but the police re-routed the heavy traffic up the quiet route. So not such a nice climb 🙁
The roads just south of Bayonne are very nice when going along country lanes. The hills ahead are a taste of hard work to come.
Another dedicated cycle track!
The border is easy to miss if you are not paying attention!
Opps – “Mechanical!”
This is near the top before the long decent. The building near the lorries was a bar. First stopped in for a coffee in 2013. It was open in 2019, but I suspect the business is yet another victim of Covid 🙁
