Hi and welcome to WannaGoBiking. My name is Arjan and it is time for a new cycling adventure!
Three years ago I started cycling in the Northeast of France, expecting to ride to the Southwest in about a month’s time. Things did not work out due to extreme weather near Lyon. So I came back the next year but was again stopped by heavy rains before going into the Pyrenees. So in 2024 I finally saw an opportunity to finish this trip.
The big one, I wanted to add the Aubisque in the trip for a reason so here’s why
Stunning views which made up for the hard work.
Hope you like it, enjoy your rides and stay safe out there !

Well done, Arjan! That was some ride. Very impressive. You sure do like to put yourself to the test. I hope you had some well deserved refreshments at the end of it.
Very nice video again, Arjan! I need to do that climb myself someday!
Yes, well done. I got tired just watching those climbs!
