#bikepacking trip, day #11. We departed Bugarach and passed the impressive Gorges de Galamus as we kept heading towards the sea. The change in landscape that slowly started happening after we left the Pyrenees was complete - the farms were replaced by vineyards and occasional olive trees and the earth became more arid. 6 days after we left the Atlantic coast we reached the Mediterranean just north of Perpignan. 103 km.

#bikepacking trip, day #10. We entered Cathar country and passed several castle ruins as the landscape of the Corbières Massif slowly took over. It rained just enough in the evening to put on the rain gear (we didn't carry it for nothing after all!). 92 km.

#bikepacking trip, day #9. We kept heading eastwards and after passing Col de Portet d'Aspet we rejoined the V81 cycling path on probably its most beautiful section - Saint-Girons to Foix. 107 km.

#bikepacking trip, day #8. It rained during the night and the morning greeted us with a heavy fog as we climbed the final hundred meters towards Col d'Aspin. From there we descended to Arreau and then up again to Col de Peyresourde. After these two mountain passes we descended along the Pique river and after a final small climb set up the tent. 80 km.

en fait ce redditeur inconnu a mis le doigt dessus : le bikepacking c’est surfait. l’avenir est au hikepacking, la rando vélo sans vélo

#bikepacking trip, day #7. Finally the heat broke as we had an overcast day with only around 25°C. We passed through Lourdes and then turned towards the Pyrenees, camping at over 1000m right before Col d'Aspin. 60 km.
