Boldly going where no bike should go.

I,m at 4000ft and should be in an airplane instead I,m pushing the bike into the clouds. The Lepoeder Pass is at 1427m and there,s a howling gale, luckily it,s not rain or snow or this would be dodgy, as it is I push twenty steps then take a breather hoping my heart wont burst out of my chest like in the Alien movie. Stayed the night at the Roncevaux monestry, Napoleon was a relatively recent guest, Charlemagne and Richard the Lionheart whooped it up here too. The trail has been in use since the 10th Century and shows it, much bouncing over jagged bedrock. Essentially it´s a 800km off-road bike ride relying on the signs marking the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostella.
