Cycling from a base in the central Pyrenees

Enlargement
This map with Massat as it's centre was created by ourselves in conjunction with the local cycling club it's main objective is to illustrate  the network of roads linking the local valleys the plan is to place a copy of this map in each valley



The Couserans in the Pyrenees  has always been a great place for the top Mountain bikers to train but the mountains have offered little to the family being too much single track and steep descents there is a local initiative to establish in the eight valleys around St Girons a vast network of easy routes conforming to the F.F.C REGULATIONS .This is a massive step forward for the area  a hard riders paradise will soon offer something for every level . we'll keep you posted .Go to the Cominac domain map
