A Fistful of €uros

2019 sees the Wild Hogs, Woody and Grizzly, embark on another marathon tour. After the cold snowy mountains of Norway in the north, they now take on the hot dusty plains in the south, touring the Iberian peninsula. They’ll come together to begin their journey in Portsmouth, sailing to Bilbao, before spending around 30 days trekking through Spain, Portugal and into the Pyrenees of Andorra and France, before returning to Bilbao and Portsmouth. It's an epic journey totalling some 4250 road miles.

Luz SS

We took a walk around the town. There's some interesting bits in the old town and plenty of stuff related to the Tour de France. There's a plaque (2 actually) marking km 0 and in the pavement, hand prints from previous winners of the Tourmalet stage.

Having walked around a bit, during which it stopped raining, it was beer time. We had one, then made for Pizzeria Christine, where we had our 3rd pizza of the tour, though Sanch went for calzone this time.

After dinner Sanch got ready for bed and I went out to walk up the hill by the hotel to the Chateau Sainte Marie. It's dark in the valley now, so time for bed. Tomorrow we ride to San Sebastian, back in Spain, our last full day on the Iberian peninsula.
