Today I fly to Barcelona to join in one of the hardest amateur bike events on the planet:  The Haute Route.  The Haute Route (www.hauteroute.org) consists of three parts: The Dolomites, The Alpes, and The Pyrenees.  Each part consists of seven days of intense riding with climbs of many of the most famous cols along the way.

The Haute Route Pyrenees starts near Barcelona and finishes on the Atlantic Coast.












The event is organized like a professional race with moto outriders, support cars, etc. and each stage is timed.  I will be posting pictures, results, and observations on this blog but you can also follow the event on Facebook and on the HauteRoute site.

Because of the schedule of this event I will miss the Best Buddies Carmel-Hearst Castle Challenge for the first time in several years but I am raising money for Best Buddies anyway and I would appreciate it if you could make a donation:
