This is a mountain bike adventure that I have had in my mind for a long time. The idea was to tour around the highest mountain in the Pyrenees, Aneto which stands at 3404m tall amongst several other 3000m peaks. We wanted to mountain bike as close to it as was realistically possible due to it’s protected status and make the full circuit around it, similar to the famous Tour de Mont Blanc. It was our Tour of Aneto.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tour of Aneto: Planning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our big Pyrenees mountain bike adventure has been in my mind for years, but I have never had time to ride it because we are always guiding our Vacaciones en bicicleta de monta\u00f1a<\/a> at this time. I have been thinking about it though! Then we had our CoVid crisis here and we were effectively confined to our houses for weeks on end. At the same time all of our holiday bookings were cancelled, or rather rescheduled and our 2020 calendar was suddenly empty. I decided to grab the opportunity and sent a mail to Orbea asking if they would be interested in sending a journalist, photographer and video maker along to capture a “big Pyrenees mountain bike adventure”<\/strong>! I didn’t give them much more information than that but they said yes straight away. It’s great working with Orbea! And with that all of a sudden I was committed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t think that because we spend more days than most up here that it makes these days any less special for us. This was fresh air in the lungs for us after what has honestly been a challenging 2020. Spending time with these friends and enjoying these amazing places never gets old and we never forget how lucky we are to be able to do this and share it with people” <\/p>Doug (guide)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
