Hi Scott,
Worst tunnel I've ever ridden. But worth it. I had to dig out my emergency light from my handlebar bag about half way through. It would have been easier if it weren't curved.
Coming back to France anytime soon?
Cheers,
Keith
I'd forgotten about this tunnel Keith, but we rode through it 20 years ago also (https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/lisbon1997/to-albi/). Just as scary then. We didn't have lights, so we waited for a car to guide us through. Nice to see a photo of it.

Actually, we are coming back fairly soon - but not to your neck of the woods unfortunately. We're still trying to cram in mountainous itineraries while The legs still allow it. If we stick to the plan, we're going to fly into Nice in late August, bike up the spine of the Alps and over Galibier again, then turn east into Italy.
7 years agoI doubt this will be the last time in France though. I still fantasize about coming back to Burgundy, maybe using it as a base for a lot of shorter rides. One of these years!
