A couple of weeks ago I crossed
the Pyrenees from the Costa Brava to the Cantabrian Sea. 1,035 km, 26,600 m of ascents in 17 solo stages, starting in Llançà and ending in Hondarribia. I did it on my old friend, a Specialized Rockhopper from 1996. I really missed front suspension, brakes that ran cooler and required less hand pressure on the long descents, and tires with more grip, but the 2" Schwalbe Marathon Mondial DDs meant I didn't have a single puncture throughout the entire route.
