Post Script

After a hot sticky night in the Mellow YH in Barcelona, we were up and away into the city for our final ride together to get breakfast near to El Clot train station. So it was tostados all round before we split:

 

Kev was catching a ferry to Mallorca; Dave H getting a flight home & Dave M going to meet his cousin, who lives near the city, and then flying home tomorrow. Alex, Neil & I struggled into the station with our bikes, panic bought tickets (Alex even left his change in the machine.....ooooo noooooo), but remarkably we got the bikes onto the right train in the nick of time. 

Great bike facilities & a really comfortable train. Puts our lot to shame! 

We off loaded at Figueres, found the hotel in Castello d'Empuries, dumped our stuff, rode through a nature reserve to the sea and hit the beach for the afternoon.

A puncture on the way for Neil was the one & only for the entire trip: 

 

 And relax 😎

 

A few stats for the N2B:

Just over 1000 miles in 80 hours in the saddle with 18km of vertical ascent. No punctures (on the main ride), one broken chain, one broken mech, a loose shifter, numerous dropped chains, 6 sore bottoms, 12 sore legs and a partridge in a pear tree 😀
