Looks like a tsunami getting ready to swallow the building.

Just so you know in case you were aware of it, I think you can take the train the entire way and skip the pass. That’s our plan when we get there, since we aren’t certain we’re up for the climb ourselves.

You can either bike to the Catalonian border at Portbou, or take the French regional. You have to change at the border (the rail widths don’t align for thru trains) but I’m pretty sure you can transfer to the Rodalies (the Catalonian Regional system) and ride all the way to Barcelona if you want, or even further southwest to at least Salou. According to the Rodiales website, ‘normal’ bicycles (e-bikes are OK but not tandems, etc) are allowed on all Rodiales lines as long as there’s room. In Portbou you’d want either the R11 or RG1 line, both of which go to Barcelona.

Or in your dog's fur... We had a long haired dog when I was a kid and he had free run of the nearby woods, so, yeah, that too.

Well hmm, next we get to do that pass and down to Figures. But there is a train in the plan, Girona to Barcelona, and then a spare day in Barcelona!

That’s a long draining tough day. Last year we did that one section twice. Going north we were able to get through along the rough waterfront. Going south tide was up and it was impossible so we detoured onto the highway as did you. I looked back to Rick Frasier’s journal and he wisely did the same. Hope things improve for you. You might consider taking some time off to recoup or possibly some train travel.

It has certainly been an excessive amount of type 2 fun, mixed with unecessary stress. We hope it will get "dull and boring" soon.

Should have said North America!

Until you get them all stuck to your socks!

Hoping for the best for you, Grampies! Your tour, minds, and selves have been through too much.. :(

In your case, the “attractive nuisance”..:(

Love these circular “reflection” shots!

Send him to Santa Cruz, CA. We can use the blast!

Merci.

And Canada.

Nice reflection angle!
