Pyrenees, September 2003

Another year, another challenge. And we sure did need those newly-purchased bright yellow cagoules.

After conquering (a few of) the Alps in 2002, it was time to head to the Tour de France's other major challenge: the Pyrenees. The Tourmalet, Aubisque, Aspin, Soulor, Peyresourde, Marie-Blanque.. these were the cols that awaited our trusty Cannondales. And to boot, we even got to go back into Spain. And get the tapas in!
