I’ve dreamed about biking to Burgos for a long time but somehow we’ve never made it. This post certainly whets my interest again.
I think heading for the coast is a good idea. I’ve been wondering about whether to butt in and suggest that you’re awfully early in the year to be heading into the Pyrenees, and biking around the end is probably a safer bet. And the coastline here is gorgeous. Bilbao, San Sebastián, and Saint Jean de Luz are some of our favorite places. Do your map reading in advance though - it ain’t flat.
Thanks! 55km doesn't sound like a lot but maybe you're right, given the circumstances we should be proud of it.
Cheers! Fingers crossed for a bit of sun!
Definitely type 2 fun. Normally the best kind I think, though this did verge into that other type where you sort of wish it would stop already!
We're thinking of heading to the coast where the weather seems much better. Who knew that a March in Spain could be so cold!
Thanks for the support Frank! Haha yes we've done laundry now too so fresh warm socks are on!
2 years agoThanks Zelda! Yep we are doing everything in our powers to recuperate - heating on full, lots of fresh and nutritious food, lots of lying down!
2 years agoWish the day could have stayed the way it was in the first picture. 55 km is quite an accomplishment! Good luck for the coming days. Saludos!
2 years agoDefinitely Type 2 Fun. I'm full of admiration for your bravery. It's still winter, and the weather can only get better. Hang in there, I'm rooting for you both!
2 years agoThese are the days you will remember and tell stories when you return to your friends and family.hope Sarah has two pair of socks keep smiling xx
2 years agoAmazing that despite all of that you still did 55k. The descriptions make me cold just reading them (a high compliment to your writing, not the conditions)! Hope you had a warm dinner and a chance to dry out completely.
2 years agoYuk!
2 years agoThanks! I've realised despite my short lens, thanks to all the megapixels nowadays I can simply crop in! At least, if the birds hover conveniently a few metres away 🙃
2 years agoBeautiful shot.
2 years agoThat’s what it looks like to me too.
2 years agoHow could you forget!! A total killer.
Wow, we've met some interesting peregrinos but nobody as interesting as that!
If you like hills the AtlanticCoast of Spain is the place for you! The hill between San Sabastin and Irun although certainly a challenge is truely magnificent and you will have a wonderful coast down to Irun
