DEEP TROUBLE: Trapped in the Pyrenees

Near the end of a month-long ride through Spain, Mark and Lisa Schubert set out for what should’ve been an easy final day through the Pyrenees. But as they climbed higher, a mild forecast unravelled into chaos — winds strong enough to stop their motorcycle mid-corner, trees down, and power lines snapping. What follows isn’t a story about recklessness or bravado, but about how easily ordinary choices and a little fixation can lead riders into real danger. It’s about the thin line between pressing on and pulling back — and the single moment that changed everything.
