Done!

Well we're there 💪!

We set off from here at 9.20:

 

First sighted Barcelona & the ocean at around 5pm (it's there if you look hard enough) :

 

It turned out to be a long, hard day. Some great roads and scenery, but some cruel climbing, made doubly hard in the heat. 

An interesting start, as we cycled through motorway tunnels ( because there's no other was down from Ribes without silly diversions & because a local cyclist told us to do it!). Then off into the countryside for the serious stuff. 

Dave M had a mechanical, breaking his front mech, leaving him with a rather limited selection of gears. Good job he's a strong lad! 

Anyway, we needed a few stops to re hydrate today and the going was tough, but we got there in good order. Tired, but well chuffed!

We are simply awesome

 

Well done to us all I say. A bunch of not so young MAMiL's averaging 74 miles a day over a fortnight of challenging terrain, in challenging conditions. 

Off to town for refreshments:

 

Tried to post yesterday's blog on repeated occasions & only just succeeded & now sitting on the Mellow Youth Hostel terrace at 1am in the morning, full of beer & tapas, having done 90 miles in 30 plus degrees. 

So that's it, done (till the next one). Hope you enjoyed the journey with us & thanks for checking in.
