Randonnée Pyrenees
Beautiful roads, legendary cols and magical diversions.
Using the classic Pyrenean raid as a basis and taking insights from Graeme Fife's Great Road Climbs of the Pyrenees, Rapha have tailored the route to encompass the roads and climbs less travelled as well as the legendary cols of the region.
"The roads are quieter and less 'engineered' than the alps but offer incredible views and challenges. The terrain feels more 'human scale' and perfectly suited to cycling. Travelling from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean is an unique adventure, reconnecting the rider to the soul of cycling."
– Simon Mottram, Rapha CEO
