Today we have finally departed from the region known in French as the Pyrenees-Atlantiques.
Again, today provided little flat land and we biked over 2,000 feet in our 30 mile sojourn.
For tomorrow, we realized our planned bike route of 80+ miles is a little out of reach. Instead we will bike fifteen miles to the nearest train station to Agen, which is close to tomorrow's hotel in Puymirol.
This trip so far has proven to be challenging but not impossible. While my father tends to be more ambitious than me, while I am a little more practicable, we have seemed to find a middle ground that appeases everybody.
On Monday, we will finally have a rental car, meaning no panniers!!!!!
Considering we have biked through the Pyrenees, I am glad that we are still standing. I certainly have a new outlook on the difficulties of cycling in mountainous terrain.
Anyways, now on to the pictures!
