I recently completed a solo bike trip through the Basque Country, on both sides of the Pyrenees. My goal was mostly to climb up some of the epic cols in this area. My route was Lourdes – Atharratze – Elizondo – Altsasua – Gasteiz, taking me through the regions of Zuberoa, Baxe Nafarroa, Nafarroa and Araba.

Total distance: 324km
Total elevation gain: 4830m

The main climbs were:
Auzki (col d'Ahousquy)
Izpegiko Lepoa (col d'IspƩguy)
Belate (Alto de Velate)

I stayed in little hostels since I don't like camping and I didn't want to carry my tent up and down the mountains. I soent an entire day under the rain so it was good to arrive at a dry and warm place.
