Operation camping car

We have had a wonderful week in the Pyrenees!!  For our last three nights, we were able to stay with Heather and Russell and Henry and Louis at the Chateau de la Lanette.  What an AMAZING place!  It is my new dream wedding and honeymoon spot – but it is also the perfect place to base for riding all of the cols as well.  Here is a link to their website: http://www.lalanette.com/roomsfrench.html so you can see just how beautiful the property is.  Sperry took many pictures too – so we will post those later.  Thank you Heather and Russell for such wonderful hospitality!

We climbed Col d’Aspin on Thursday.  The climb is long – but all of the views are incredible!  It was a great ride.

We are heading to pick up the camping car this morning….(insert expletive here)…so we are likely to go a little dark on the blog.  We will try to update as best we can – but I am not sure where we will be staying the night!  We are excited about this last phase of the adventure – so wish us bon voyage as we roll off!

Talk to you soon!
