  1. that second pic was the col d'aspin...on the way to the col d'tourmalet...elevation at that point was a paultry 1450 mtrs...we did get to over 2200 mtrs at one point :lol:

    it took us 45 minuets to get to that point where i took the picture...we covered approx 10 miles :shock: :shock: it was that bendy :lol: and with quite a few pro cycling teams coming down the hill like silent assassins with their 4 wheeled drive volvo estates trying to keep up with them,our ride up was quite epic :love:

  2. decide what sort of riding you want to do,blast around/more sedate,any half decent suit is also triple stitched too,get a 2 piece :stupid: for a first suit i would pay no more than £400 that you stated.cow hide is probably only material available to you at that price,but if you see a kangaroo skin one in that price what fits,snap their hands off :wink:

  3. the whole trip cost me around £1200 for the 2 weeks inc food drinks hotels ferrys and fuel...very expensive and you could do it easily for around £900,but its soooo worth it,thats twice ive done it since 2008,and i would happily travel around spain and no where else for the rest of my life :D

    if you do need any tips,dont hesitate to invite me :lol: :lol:

  4. Its was FANTASTIC!!!!!!brilliant roads,great views,good driving standards,just brilliant..... :mrgreen:

    spread over 13 days and 2250 miles,with a 4 day break inbetween,i was nearly wiped out by...a 7ft buzzard/deer/2 dogs/herd of cows/4 mules/1 cat and a flock of swallows over the trip...we did major mways to small single rural roads where very little had passed,but highlight was the col du tourmolet where the tour de france goes,where upon reaching the top,we were told it was closed to motorized traffic :shock: ,and only pushbikes and walkers were allowed to travel,but with a 190km round trip to do because of it we decided to go down the 5500ft road which was strewn with rocks and debris from a bad winter :angel12: ,30 mins later and we reached the bottom with obvious bemusement of road workers at the base,who just raised there eyebrows and clapped :lol:

    theres too many good roads,too many good times and i cant wait to go back..heres some pics :wink:
