Lostende Tours: France

Day 11 of the Pyrenees cycling trip: Collioure to Castlenaudary.  Pictured above is the eastern end of the Pyrenees mountains, as we make a diagonal run, direction north-west, from the Mediterranean back towards the Atlantic.  On the ride back we will stay mostly just north of the Pyrenees.  Ride stats for the day: 125 miles, 5,830 ft. of climbing.  Major climbs of the day...a lot of long rolling hills.  This is the longest ride of the trip, but again you just had a rest day!
