A Ride to Remember
We cycled from Lyon to Barcelona. France was quite manageable, even during the heatwave, with mostly steady and gradual climbs. Spain, on the other hand, was much drier and the landscape more rolling, which made the ride more challenging at times.
Still, we truly enjoyed crossing the Pyrenees. The breathtaking views and the sense of accomplishment more than made up for the tougher stretches.
