Traverser des Baronnies
The Baronnies are the foothills of the pyreneese mountains out towards the tourmalet. This event is run every 2 years with the objective being to attract as many women as possible each year.

Trail des Premières Côtes de Bordeaux

St Aignan Road Race
80kms local road race with the men....the usual grunt road race but good training!
La Luchonnaise
124 kms from Luchon over the col d'Ares, Burret, and up to Peyragudes....good prep for what's to come!
