That’s pretty cool. Did you do the descents? Did you notice details in the climbing that would prove useful for racers, such as ideal locations for an attack, a short decline in the grade followed by intense climbing? Were there changes in the road conditions? How was the hospitality in the Pyrenees? Too cool... I’m thinking of a late dinner in a local bistro, musicians playing traditional tunes, some regional wine, and then hit the road too early. Awesome...
The descents were terrific fun bordering on scary at times. Your hands can cramp from extended periods of braking. You can put big time into those who aren’t good at picking the right line and maintaining speed thru the corners. The 2010 version of the camp I did is detailed in this link.

We modified the route this year to included a ton of extra climbing including the Col de Aspin, Hautacam, Port de Bales, Port d’ Envalira in Andora, Col de Portet d’Aspet - 17 categorized climbs totaling 60K feet in 1 week. People were awesome. Great great camp. Training all day then terrific evenings of meals and taking in the local scene.
