Awesome trip - you done good!
1 year agoIt looked absolutely wonderful. We loved following along. I am writing this from our seat on our first flight home. On time and comfortable. Hoping for the same for you. Safe travels.
1 year agoWhat a great trip, your weather was amazing. I love this part of France along the coast. Your photos bring back great memories. Thanks for sharing! Safe travels home!
1 year agoGreat tour. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels home, you two!
1 year agoWe did not find an elevator. The Garmin route plan did most of the heavy lifting. In situations like this you place a lot of faith in the small map on the handle bars and stopping now again for a reality check. It all worked out quite well this time but is definitely a complex few kilometres.
1 year agoThanks Lyle. When planning to ride the North coast in late October I knew that we would have to get lucky with the weather. We really did hit the sun jackpot on the whole tour, and as you know, it is so much easier when the sun is shining. Thank you for following along.
1 year agoGlad you got great weather for this. It was pea soup when Susanna and I were here. Now, I'm envious to see what we missed.
1 year agoThanks Scott, it was a good tour. We had outstanding weather, in fact so good the locals were even amazed. It is so much easier when the sun is shining. We also picked some great roads and got lucky with some excellent overnight stays. You said that we would like Spain and we really did. Thank you and Rachael for all your encouragement.
1 year agoIt looks like you two had an outstanding tour! One I’d have been pleased to be on. Thanks for taking us along, have a safe trip home.
1 year agoIt’s crazy trying to find your way through there in a bicycle. Definitely a test for your navigation skills. Did you encounter the elevator along the bike path?
1 year agoIt’s a beauty of a climb. A real classic! And you had splendid weather for it. We rode the opposite direction and took a ‘ferry’ to get across the river to San Sebastian.
1 year agoYes - those rock layers can get pretty wild!

1 year agoBeautiful ride, well done! When we were here in May (riding from St JdL to San S) Jaizkibel was shrouded in clouds and thunderstorms were in the forecast. As a result we stuck to the lower inland valleys. We will have to come back and ride it again, and add in the costal route to Bilbao (that we also wimped out on!). Your days doing that looked beautiful too.

They taste really good too, if memory serves from 2017.
