Thank you! It’s a great experience and so much more than watching the riders race by. 🙂

I do love riding but lately I’ve been enjoying getting out for some hikes here in the Pyrenees. These mountains are energising.

No - I’ve not heard of it to be honest. Will have to look into it.

Oh no! I’m so sorry you got hit with food poisoning while on your adventure! Hope you are able to plot back a return to these magic mountains! 🙏🏼

It will be interesting to see what the final road repairs will end up like.

Part two of our Pyrenees crossing is now out and available. Been great to relive this journey. Part two sees us start with taking on the Tourmalet and then follows is all the way to the Ariège. Love those mountains - even in the clouds a magic place to be. #cycling #adventure #pyrenees

Thank you! Oooh what an awesome part of France you’ve settled in! Still for us to discover but very keen to so so. Everything we have heard about it has been great!

Bella - Seek Travel Ride @bellacycling.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Thank you - glad you liked it! Part two should be out in the next week. Some climbs were definitely slogs and it was very different to riding these roads on our lightweight road bikes. Definitely felt like we earned the views! Looking back on it now and definitely plan to do it in reverse now too

It was the toughest day of our Raid - approached via the Route de Corniche so Marmare and Chioula first. No lunch to be found other than an overpriced crepe at the top of Chioula. Broken by the time we rolled into camp from Pailheres - then the next morning woke up to a toad under the ground sheet!

Bella - Seek Travel Ride @bellacycling.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

It was cold! We did contemplate sleeping in the small hit at the summit but made for a slow descent to a campground near Queriguet. Fog, thunder, rain. Hardest day of our traverse but of course the beat stories come from those days!

Bella - Seek Travel Ride @bellacycling.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

I’m contemplating doing the route in reverse - from the Med to the Atlantic so perhaps I’ll get to see it with blue sky!

Bella - Seek Travel Ride @bellacycling.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

That’s what it looks like!!! Was a complete white out when I climbed it during our raid traverse! Made for an eerh experience…descending straight into a thunderstorm!

Part of me died on the final 3kms from the approach via Escot! Do not know how I did that with the panniers strapped on. Never been so broken!

Bella - Seek Travel Ride @bellacycling.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

I’ve ridden sections of the V81 and it’s good. Nice use of quiet D roads as well. No need to feel wimpy either - not every ride needs to be a slog up a mountain!

We left from St Jean de Luz as well. Best ride I’ve done

Back in 2023 we cycled across the Pyrenees. I’d taken loads of footage with a plan to turn it into something. Only took me 18months! Trailer out now and part 1 releases in a few days. The memories this footage brings back are some of the best I’ve had on a ride #cycling youtu.be/H4a2t78jC20?...

Thanks so much @alastairhumphreys.bsky.social - It was a real treat to be able to chat and have you on as a guest for an episode of the podcast - and even pose to you some questions you’d not been asked before! Adventure is a state of mind. Here’s to sleeping out on a local hill! #Adventure #cycling

That would have been incredible! I’ve got big plans to do some camping up in the high mountains. Such an energising place to be.

The mountains. They’re always the place I feel most happy. Something about how they never cease to make me feel in awe of nature. Cycling across the Pyrenees is still my most favourite bike adventure I’ve taken. With a loaded bike I was slow, but so SO happy! #adventure #cycling

A 15month bike adventure from Germany to Australia. That’s what Madeline Hoffmann did - but her story is so much more than just the physical act of cycling through 23 countries. I especially loved her insights on mindset. A pleasure to feature her for our milestone 100th episode of Seek Travel Ride.

Isn’t it! Can only imagine how it would be to be in such a vast landscape! Pretty hot though - 47C!!

Adventurer Rob MacLennan shared what ended up being quite a monumental day cycling through the Namib desert. Just 1 day out of the 199 from his journey from London to Capetown. Desert foxes, broken spokes, 47C and then this happened…sky magic like no other. #bikepacking #adventure

Hey great are mini adventures! Here’s a pic from one of mine this year. Up to Gavarnie which is on the border with France and Spain. Best sunrise views ever

I can really relate to this - often the first week is the hardest but once you get into a rhythm- bike travel can become so addictive! #bikepacking #cyetouring

I host and produce a podcast interviewing people who take big adventures on their bikes…which makes it particularly hard when I don’t get the chance to take my own! Just managed some small ‘mini adventures’ this summer but looking forward to some longer ones next year.
