EST. 2015 - VALLÉE D'OSSAU
TEN YEARS IN
IN THE THIN AIR
They say mountains stay the same, but after a decade in the Ossau Vallée with my partner Tom, I've learned they are always changing. We traded the hustle of the city life for 15% slopes on the Col d'Aubisque, Marie-Blanque, Pourtalet and quiet mornings in the high pastures, and for the wild views above the clouds. And this is where I learnt to ride a bike.
This is a record of those rides - the technical local details and a glimpse of life between the Three Valleys.
571,725M and still counting!
