Cycle Tour along the Canal du Midi (2007)


Terje Melheim

In 2009, two years after our actual cycle tour, I had the idea to write a report about the cycle tour Turid and I enjoyed at the Canal du Midi and in the Pyrenees. Unfortunately through the Pyrenees I cycled alone because Turid had left for home. At my old age I can get one week of extra holiday. (popularly called senile-week) Turid, who is so young, had to go back to work. The inspiration for this cycle tour we had from the Trento Bike Pages where we read the reports of cyclists who had already cycled along the Canal du Midi. 
 

I have split my report in two parts:
 

Part one: Two cyclists along the Canal du Midi, to Carcassonne and Albi.

Part two: One cyclist through the Pyrenees, along the Mediterranean and the Canal du Midi.
