Mark (ikkje on here) and I enjoyed a mammoth ride in September 2022. 3046 miles in 16 days. The route was inspired by Mark, having seen a similar route in a newspaper.
The route follows (loosely in places) two Tourist Itinerary routes - the Route des Cols through the Pyrenees and the Route des Grandes Alpes.
See:
Lots of cyclists do the Route Des Cols, so you'll often see it on cycling websites. It's signposted in places, but don't rely on the signs, as they're not always seen...
Anyway, it's a fabulous route. It was a bit of a push to do the 3000+ miles in just 16 days without using motorways, if possible I would allow an extra couple of days...
So the reason for posting today, I just got around to creating a YouTube account, so I can now share the video... Hope you enjoy!

Discover the Pyrénées by the Route des cols (mountain passes)
The Route des cols is an itinerary weaving its way through the Pyrénées and offering lots of ideas for walks and discoveries. Choose your locomotion… motorbike, car or bike!
