Dawn Patrol on the Tourmalet - Night riding in the Pyrénées

Admittedly taking guests and friends out night riding in the Pyrénées during our cycling tours was never really part of the plan, but I had this little urge to do something special during one of the longest nights of the year, a trip to the Tourmalet at dawn to watch the sun come up over a silhouette of mountain peaks. As the week progressed I sort of slid the idea out there to see what sort of reaction I might get. Eyes widened, smiles appeared. That was enough for me, Exposure Lights to the fore and it’s on like Donkey Kong! With so many beautiful mountains to explore close by we followed it up a few weeks later with a midnight assault on the legendary Hautacam. The Aubisque will have to wait for another day, but be warned, we have you in our sights! Up for an adventure? Then join us on one of our summer cycling tours.
