2024 PROGRAM
Program
Open: every 1st Friday of the month
from 6:00 pm.
Program :
Pyrenean Raid from June 1 to September 30.
Discover the call of the Pyrenees
A place to meet and exchange ideas, this call is an opportunityto savour, with friends, the last fine days still favourable for "the call of the mountains".
For cyclotourists attracted by the mountains,it's "their return from the summer pastures", as the mountains begin to put on their winter clothes and "bite" their fingers, noses and ears. It's the last foray into altitude before winter.
In 2024, it took place on Sunday October 13 at Germs-sur-l'Oussouet in the Hautes-Pyrénées.

CCB 90th anniversary
Cyclo Club béarnais is one of France's oldest bicycle touring clubs. It was founded in 1933. It celebrated its 90th anniversary on October 15, 2023 at LÉE town hall.
To mark the occasion, a family cycling tour, open to all, was organized on a very easy 10 km route, which could be ridden from one to nine times, depending on your level of training.

Testimonials :
Raid Pyrénéende Caroline :
Caroline Laborde, originally from Pau, has embarked on a grandiose challenge at the dawn of her fourth decade.
The challenge is the Raid Pyrénéen Touriste from Hendaye to Cerbère. Caroline has an athletic background that would make anyone swoon. She has already run 2 marathons and only discovered cycling 6 years ago.
And although her cycling history is young, she has already completed several stages of the Tour de France as part of the "Donnons des elles au vélo" operation, which enables an amateur women's peloton to ride the Tour de France Homme a day before the pros.
If Caroline found enough motivation to go all the way, it was largely because of her sister.
"I decided to take the Miralutz association with me, as my sister is ill. My heart goes out to her."

The first to be certified 2024:
Tom Helleman, from the Netherlands, was the first person to be approved for the Raid Pyrénéen in 2024, covering the Pyrenees alone from Cerbère to Hendaye.

Raid open from June 1 to September 30.

WHO ARE WE?
Created in 1933, the Cyclo Club Béarnais is one of the oldest clubs of the French Cycling Federation (it is number 76).
We propose activities which have for ambition to answer the various practices of the cycle touring: the road bike, the mountain bike.
From June to September, we offer the Raid Pyrénéen, a permanent tour that attracts more than 300 cyclotourists each year for a crossing of the Pyrenean massif between Hendaye and Cerbère (or Cerbère and Hendaye) through prestigious passes and others less known.
The Cyclo Club Béarnais also created in 1946 the Randonnée des Cols Pyrénéens (RCP). Originally, this tour went from Luchon to Pau via the Peyresourde, Aspin, Tourmalet, Soulor and Aubisque passes.
