Los Corrales de Buelna to San Vincente de la Banquera

To the Coast

Yesterday was rainy before and after our trip to the cave. Today was beautiful. we waited until 10 to start out allowing the temperature to warm up to 54 degrees. We finished the ride at a delightful 64. We had some good climbs and fun downhills. 

Exiting the city we were able to take a bike pedestrian path along the river through several small town to a larger town before joining the main road.
