In this 3rd episode of our journey through the Pyrenees, we depart the mystical town of Lourdes in France to ride deep into the french Pyrenees. From there we encounter an unexpected road closure at Col de Soulor that forces us to take a detour which turned out to be a very exciting road. As we zig zag through the mountains, we stop in the town of Laruns, a very picturesque French town were we indulge in some delicious crepes. Once done, we take up to the mountain road again into one of the most magnificent scenery's we have ever ridden in our lives, the Col du Pourtalet. At the top of the mountains, we reach the French/Spanish border. Once in Spain we descend the mountains until we reach the small village of Berdun, a very rustic and magical medieval town perched on a mesa. From there we travel to the spectacular city of Pamplona, also know for the world famous running of the bulls during the Fiesta de San Fermin. Please stay tuned as we are committed to bringing you new episodes in the coming weeks.

Raid Pyrenees II 2013 - France T2056.08
One of the toughest Tacx films ever, full of climbs.
Part 2 of the epic coast to coast route from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean is one of the toughest films Tacx has ever made, full of climbs that have played a part in the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España. Part 2 of this Blu-ray series heads another 200 km west from the finishing point of part 1 with a nice warm up along the valley to the foot of the Port de Lers, followed by the Col d’Agnes and the Col de Latrape. After a detour into some very narrow old roads of the Col de Catchaudégué and the Col de Portech it’s back to the well-known climbs again with the Col de Portet d’Aspet, the Port de Balès, the Col de Peyresourde and finally the Col d’Aspin.
St Josemaria in Lourdes
At a gathering in Barcelona on November 26 1972 St Josemaria talks of his short but intense visits to the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes.
St Josemaria went to Lourdes, France several times. The book At God's Pace by François Gondrand contains a brief account of one of his visits to the Grotto at Lourdes on October 3, 1972.
Saint Josemaria had just landed at Tarbes airport, not far from Lourdes. A few of his French and Spanish sons had come to meet him there before he went on to Hendaye and from there into Spain. He intended to spend several weeks in the Iberian peninsula and meet a large number of people. First, on 7 October, he would preside at a ceremony during which he was to award honorary doctorates of the University of Navarre to a German professor of medicine, Erich Letterer, a Spanish art historian, the Marquis of Lozoya, and a French legal historian, Professor Ourliac, a member of the Institute of France.
Soon, as they passed in front of the basilica of Lourdes, the Father spoke of the miracles that were starting to happen at Torreciudad, on the other side of the Pyrenees, even before the shrine and the other buildings were finished: confessions, conversions, decisions to give more to Our Lord... all the miracles of grace he had thought of when he gave the word for the construction work to begin.
The Father walked briskly to the grotto. As always when in Lourdes, he stopped to drink the spring water. Then he went towards the site of the apparitions, where a ceremony was about to start. As soon as he saw the statue of the Virgin of the Rosary, he knelt on the ground; after a short and intense time of prayer, he rose and returned across the esplanade.
The Father said farewell to his French sons and got back into the car.
Before drinking the miraculous water, he had remarked to those around him that he was asking nothing of the Blessed Virgin for himself, not even for his health. But his sons were not surprised, for they were well aware of the motive for this detour to the place where on 11 December 1937 he had said Mass after his memorable crossing of the Pyrenees. It was the same motive as on the previous pilgrimages he had made to Lourdes, to Sonsoles in Avila, Spain, to El Pilar in Saragossa, to the Basilica of Our Lady of Ransom in Barcelona, to Our Lady of Willesden in London, to Einsiedeln in Switzerland and to Loreto in Italy. And to Torreciudad in 1970, to Fatima in Portugal, to Guadalupe in Mexico...
Praying in these famous places of pilgrimage, he had asked Our Lady for peace for the Church, peace for the world, for the perseverance of his sons and daughters and the fruitfulness of the apostolates of the Work.
Now, more than ever, the Church was his first concern, urging him as it did towards further plans for making reparation and for strengthening the faith of his children, both when they visited him in Rome and when he met them on his journeys. Previously, he had customarily avoided talking to very large groups, but now he felt a burning desire to speak about God directly to the largest possible number of people, to set them on the way to deepening their Christian lives. But for him the apostolate would always be, as he had written long ago in The Way, the fruit of prayer, which grows in value with sacrifice. He frequently repeated the words of a liturgical prayer he had often used when he was young: Ure igne Sancti Spiritus -- Lord, burn us with the fire of your Holy Spirit; burn our hearts and our innermost being...
This plea to the Holy Spirit was prompted by his desire to be constantly close to the Holy Family of Nazareth, the trinity on earth, as he called them.
If we want to become intimate friends with our Lord and our heavenly Mother, we must listen to Saint Joseph, he said.
At Saint Joseph's side his soul came close to Mary, and through her to Jesus, God made Man. And Jesus introduced him into the mystery of the Blessed Trinity. This was how, according to his own words, he went from the trinity on earth to the Trinity of heaven, by the way of childhood of which the great mystics have spoken. It is a path whose difficult easiness demands that the soul start and continue led by the hand of God, and which demands the submission of the understanding, more difficult than the submission of the will.
Gondrand, François, At God's Pace: Josemaria Escriva, Founder of Opus Dei, London and New York: Scepter, 1989.
As it was in other times —such as Lepanto—,* the Rosary must be today a powerful weapon, to conquer the enemies of the Holy Roman Church and of your Country.
Offer reparation to the Lord, exalt His Mother with your lips: your God asks for atonement, for praises from your tongue, because

SUIVEZ LE GUIDE : Lourdes, au-delà du pèlerinage
Au sud de Tarbes se trouve une ville incontournable dans le monde du pèlerinage catholique : Lourdes. Christine y vit depuis 8 ans, et pour elle, sa ville est tout simplement très agréable à vivre, notamment grâce à la vue sur les montagnes. Il y a plusieurs lieux que cette maman apprécie : la fontaine aux trois becs, la plus ancienne de Lourdes ; le marché sous la grande halle du 19ème siècle, très convivial ; ou encore bien sûr, le sanctuaire catholique … Ce dernier est le point d’attrait principal de la ville. Les gens viennent chercher l’eau bénite en libre-service, visiter la grotte. Enfin, Lourdes possède un château, moins connu des touristes, mais qui vaut malgré tout le détour …
