Thu Jun 4 : AMT Day 6 [ride] Carcassonne → Andorra (4h30m 225km)
Good breakfast museli and nuts.
Then quick pack up and down to the bikes, parked on the sidewalk for the briefing, then out of
the city early to beat the rain into Andorra. Coffee stop in xxx nice stop with two nice dogs.
Chonky dog! Then the group split into direct (3 bikes) and another over a 1980m pass with very narrow, tight switchbacks. Homemade lunch TBD. Then another climb to 2400m in fog. Tunnel, then back up on the other side to the fog line. Got cheap(?) gas in Andorra 1.57 at the top rather than typical 2.00. Then we took the long route into the city. Checked in and walked around, found the place Jerry and Chris stayed.
