Pont d'Espagne






So after the dissolution of our Dolomites group Juan, Carlos, Gerson, and I headed for the Pyrenees to get a bit more self induced agony. Upon arrival in Argeles-Gazost we decided to do an evening ride up to Pont d'Espagne. This is a very pretty climb rises 995m in 18.5km or about 5.5% average. Unfortunately I think that we missed the best views by not finishing with the long walk at the summit of our Ride. This climb has a pretty disappointing finish after a very scenic ascent, the parking lot is pretty anti-climatic
