One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Try the go on foot from France to Spain straight trough the pyrenees not really good prepared. Tried it twice but did not succeed. Third time good time ;) Try to follow a part of the tour the France in the French alps. Being on top of a mountain after riding long hours really gave such a nice experience.
