After about twelve hours on the road, we arrived in La Massana on Saturday evening, right in the heart of the Pyrenees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the race wouldn\u2019t begin until Thursday, we used Sunday and Monday for course recon. On Sunday, we rode the first stage \u2014 and quickly agreed that the profile suited us well. The climbs were long but never too steep, the descents technical but manageable \u2014 a well-balanced mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:100.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_05.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1000\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_05-150x100.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_05-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_05-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_05-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_05-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w\" alt=\"Andorra Epic\" data-height=\"1000\" data-id=\"6198\" data-link=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/andorra_epic_05\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_05-1260x840.jpg\" data-width=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_05-1260x840.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Bild\u00a01 von 1 im Vollbildmodus \u00f6ffnen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our equipment also gave us confidence. We both rode with 36-tooth chainrings and the new Continental Dubnital tires. The lightweight construction really paid off on the climbs, while the grippy tread gave reliable traction on loose surfaces. The only minor concern was the thin casing, but over the course of the week, the Dubnital proved to be solid and dependable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday, we pre-rode the third stage \u2014 the so-called queen stage. With 63 km and 2,400 meters of elevation gain, most of it above 2,000 meters, it was a real test. The trails were noticeably more technical and demanding than those on stage one. Still, we felt well prepared and started thinking through our race strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuesday was a full rest day, and on Wednesday \u2014 the day before the start \u2014 we rode a descent from stage two. The trail was incredibly fun, but also mentally demanding \u2014 just a small taste of what was to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:59.96981%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_07.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1000\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_07-150x100.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_07-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_07-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_07-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_07-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w\" alt=\"Andorra Epic\" data-height=\"1000\" data-id=\"6202\" data-link=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/andorra_epic_07\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_07-1260x840.jpg\" data-width=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_07-1260x840.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Bild\u00a01 von 2 im Vollbildmodus \u00f6ffnen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:40.03019%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_06.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1500\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_06-150x150.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_06-1260x1260.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_06-1260x1260.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_06-1260x1260.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_06-1260x1260.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w\" alt=\"Andorra Epic\" data-height=\"1500\" data-id=\"6200\" data-link=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/andorra_epic_06\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_06-1260x1260.jpg\" data-width=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_06-1260x1260.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Bild\u00a02 von 2 im Vollbildmodus \u00f6ffnen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"stage_1_%e2%80%93_thursday_a_solid_start_despite_setbacks\"><\/span>Stage 1 \u2013 Thursday: A Solid Start Despite Setbacks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first stage threw us straight into the deep end: 43 km with 1,625 meters of climbing. As with all races in the Epic Series, the field was stacked with top international teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first climb took us from 1,200 meters up to an impressive 2,140 meters. We managed to settle into the front group, then the extended lead pack. Unfortunately, Aaron began to lose air from his rear tire, but we were able to fix it at the first feed zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the second big climb, we regained a few positions and entered the final descent running around 9th place. But luck didn\u2019t last: we both suffered tire burps in the final downhill. With about 2 km to go, we had to plug our tires and use CO\u2082 cartridges to get rolling again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the setbacks, we crossed the line in a respectable 12th place \u2014 a strong start under the circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_04.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1000\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_04-150x100.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_04-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_04-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_04-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_04-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w\" alt=\"Andorra Epic\" data-height=\"1000\" data-id=\"6196\" data-link=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/andorra_epic_04\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_04-1260x840.jpg\" data-width=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_04-1260x840.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Bild\u00a01 von 2 im Vollbildmodus \u00f6ffnen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_01.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1000\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_01-150x100.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_01-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_01-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_01-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_01-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w\" alt=\"Andorra Epic\" data-height=\"1000\" data-id=\"6190\" data-link=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/andorra_epic_01\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_01-1260x840.jpg\" data-width=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_01-1260x840.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Bild\u00a02 von 2 im Vollbildmodus \u00f6ffnen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"stage_2_%e2%80%93_friday_struggling_with_altitude\"><\/span>Stage 2 \u2013 Friday: Struggling With Altitude<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stage two included 46 km and 1,300 meters of climbing \u2014 but a huge 1,950 meters of descending. The day started at the ski station Pal Arinsal, with the finish once again in La Massana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first 25 km were entirely above 2,000 meters \u2014 and the high altitude began to take a toll on me (Niclas). Especially on the descents, I had to back off, and a few mistakes crept in. The stage demanded far more than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, we finished 16th \u2014 a disappointing result, but one we could explain. Our equipment and nutrition were spot-on again, but the altitude pushed me to my limit.

Slick rocks caused backups, and Aaron took a minor fall \u2014 luckily without consequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the main climb of the day, we found a strong rhythm and pushed all the way to the highest point of the race: 2,560 meters. The legendary Mont Magic descent was even more technical than during recon, due to wet conditions. The second big climb \u2014 part asphalt, part trail \u2014 was also tough. And anyone thinking the stage was done after the final pass was wrong: a last technical uphill section and a long, energy-draining descent to the finish rounded things out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We rolled across the line in 12th place \u2014 a result we were both proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_08.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1000\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_08-150x100.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_08-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_08-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_08-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_08-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w\" alt=\"Andorra Epic\" data-height=\"1000\" data-id=\"6204\" data-link=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/andorra_epic_08\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_08-1260x840.jpg\" data-width=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_08-1260x840.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Bild\u00a01 von 2 im Vollbildmodus \u00f6ffnen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_03.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1000\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_03-150x100.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_03-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_03-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_03-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_03-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w\" alt=\"Andorra Epic\" data-height=\"1000\" data-id=\"6194\" data-link=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/andorra_epic_03\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_03-1260x840.jpg\" data-width=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_03-1260x840.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Bild\u00a02 von 2 im Vollbildmodus \u00f6ffnen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"stage_4_%e2%80%93_sunday_a_tough_final_day\"><\/span>Stage 4 \u2013 Sunday: A Tough Final Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The final stage once again emphasized descending: 52 km, with 1,250 meters of climbing and 1,580 meters of descending \u2014 from Naturland back to La Massana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had to tackle most of the climbing right at the start \u2014 up to 2,140 meters. The following descent, with over 1,500 vertical meters, was highly technical and, due to damp conditions, occasionally even dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, I (Niclas) had a rough day. Right after the start, I realized I was missing power \u2014 the altitude once again got to me. I couldn\u2019t ride at my usual pace, and our only goal became to finish safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make things worse, my cleat came loose mid-descent \u2014 thankfully, we fixed it quickly. We crossed the finish in 18th place and wrapped up the Andorra Epic in 14th overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:100.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_09.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1000\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_09-150x100.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_09-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_09-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_09-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_09-1260x840.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w\" alt=\"Andorra Epic\" data-height=\"1000\" data-id=\"6206\" data-link=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/andorra_epic_09\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_09-1260x840.jpg\" data-width=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.bike-discount.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Andorra_Epic_09-1260x840.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Bild\u00a01 von 1 im Vollbildmodus \u00f6ffnen\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"final_thoughts_altitude_gear_grit\"><\/span>Final Thoughts: Altitude, Gear &amp; Grit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron was in excellent shape all week \u2014 he could have easily ridden further up the field. I struggled with the altitude the entire time and couldn\u2019t perform at my usual level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, everything went smoothly apart from stage one. We were extremely happy with our setup: my new Garmin Edge MTB worked flawlessly and was a reliable companion. The Continental Dubnital tires also fully convinced us: the combination of \u201cRapid Compound\u201d and \u201cRace Casing\u201d offered excellent grip and low weight. Apart from the single tire issue on day one, we had zero mechanicals \u2014 impressive on such demanding terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, we can highly recommend the Andorra Epic to anyone who enjoys technical trails, steep climbs, and spectacular landscapes. As expected from the Epic Series, the event was flawlessly organized and left nothing to be desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, all focus turns to preparing for the Swiss Epic, coming up in mid-August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arrival and Preparation On June 28th, Aaron and I set off together for Andorra \u2013 accompanied by Aaron\u2019s girlfriend, who kindly took care of meals and support throughout race week.
