"Best Cycling in the French Pyrenees"

Unique & Custom Pyrenees Bicycle Tours!



"Best Cycling Routes of the Pyrénées" — Roadbooks — Details and Legends:

My roadbooks are much more detailed than standard cue-sheets that typically give only directions for the route itself. In addition to those detailed directions, I provide you with general profiles of the route and the main climbs, and a list of things to see and do in the area. These printable roadbooks, available individually for a nominal fee, will help you fully enjoy your ride with or without the services of a guide.

The Navigation data is divided into two main sections. The left one pictured here contains all the information you need to conveniently navigate the route. The right one pictured here adds details including  navigation descriptions, GPS coordinates and the distance left to finish the route.
