Gun shy is the name of the game. The fender was installed today. The ground was quite wet when I opened the curtains this morning, too. And the weather report says we are going to encounter light rain again. It also indicated that the best time to ride will be around 2pm. Well, we can't wait that long before leaving, so here we go again.
The left side of the road has some blue sky and we want to ride in that direction, but I fear the Garmin will make us go towards the right.
Rich FrasierI’m just catching up with your journal - from Haro! We’re here for the Eroica Hispania and it’s still raining… Reply to this comment 1 year ago
Bill BogueWe stayed here last year at the Castillo el Collado, owned and operated by “The Count”, who was very attentive and engaging. I can’t quite determine which hotel you guys were at. We arrived from the East; I got separated from our group near the bottom of the hill below town. I rode the wrong route up to this overlook, trying to find our hotel. I then rode all the way down to the main road where I located our chalk route marker, then all the way back up to our hotel. Bonus climb! Reply to this comment 1 year ago
Sanna PhinneyOur overflow stayed up at El Castillo and loved it. We rode in from the south the first day and from the east then second day. The south hill was wicked! Reply to this comment 1 year ago
Bill BogueWe arrived from Puente de la Reina, then I climbed southward up the west side of town to that overlook. Once back down and onto our designed route, I then went up the east side of town to Castillo Collado. This helps me recollect some of our experiences from this portion of our trip (but probably boring for others). Reply to this comment 1 year ago
Well, it didn't rain and we had a most wonderful ride today. We toured and enjoyed the villages we rode through, as well as, the countryside with its jewels. The most traffic we encountered today were those narrow tractors used in the vineyards. Great day!!
