You make a good point. And if this was one of the worst days, this was obviously a pretty great tour.
5 years agoUgh. Sounds like a frustrating day. Glad you made it back before dark!
If I had to choose, I would have rather been with you two on this ride than a couple of our worst Undaunted Porridge days. (Easy for me to say from the comfort of a leisurely breakfast with a cup of hot coffee).
After our experience, my worst riding fear is motorist-induced terror.
I’m not so sure about that. I think I see a few arrogant smirks in there.
5 years agoThere is, isn’t there? It just draws you in. It’s at just the right perspective too - we hurried down to the beach to see what the glow looked like from there, but intermixing with the shadows is essential.
5 years agoThank you, thank you. I’ll save the gold stars to mount on the wall at home, if we ever have a home again.
5 years agoGot it covered. I’ve been saving a few images for just this purpose, as well as a few wine shots (or is that shots of wine)? No beehives though.
5 years agoI always say it's better to have a surplus of plane trees in your back pocket than a deficit. I'm actually surprised you used this image here. You could have put it in with Taiwan photos just for some plane tree nostalgia and to see if anyone noticed it wasn't from Taiwan.
5 years agoCongratulations! I know how hard it is to keep an online journal going daily and you were absolutely amazing. Great photos, videos and writing. You were so precise describing routes that your journal ends up being an excellent resource for those who might be planning on riding any portion. Well done!! Gold Stars!
5 years agoThey must have been envious of you with your Bike Fridays.
5 years agoThere is something very inviting about this photo. It really says 'morning' and has the optimism of a new day.
5 years agoOf course! We do have our standards to keep up.
5 years agoVideo song is great for this time of year ... "Ay, que linda la vida sencilla".
5 years agoMake sure you don't have any attached to your bikes when you leave Spain! They start out the size of a ladybug ... And look how big they get!
5 years agoThey really are such patient animals.

I think it's Banyoles. I had a similar experience on my ride from Girona to Olot in 2016. First, the busy roads from Girona to Banyoles, then my Garmin (using bikefietsmaps) routed me along rough farm tracks out of Banyoles until I finally got onto the paved minor highway--which I could have been on all along had I not gone into Banyoles. It's like a town that doesn't want to let you leave....
