Today’s ride on Komoot I stayed in the Royal Hotel in the centre of Nimes. It’s undergoing some renovations but it’s fantastic and quite reasonable. With only a short ride today to Arles, I had some time to visit the Roman Arena. It’s better preserved than the Colosseum because the locals here didn’t mine the …
Today’s ride on Komoot I had a moderate day today. It was more than 60 kms to Nimes but there was nothing strenuous and I’m definitely winding down as this part of the trip comes to an end. Three days to go before a rest. It’s interesting. I wonder if the exhaustion is more mental …
Today’s ride on Komoot Today was colder and I was older, or that’s how it felt. I really had some things to get done this morning. First of all, I didn’t know where t was going in any detail, I had no accommodation booked, and I didn’t know what the weather was going to do. …
Today’s ride on Komoot I stayed at a nice hotel in Beziers, except that the room was on the third floor up the stairs. After a days ride, you just don’t feel like lumping all of your gear up three flights of stairs. It had a great view to the park and up the wide …
Today’s ride on Komoot Today, I was heading to the Canal di Midi and the town of Beziers. Again, it was a beautiful day – crisp early but warming up quickly. I had breakfast at the Boulangerie around the corner. They have a special for the hotel guests. I have to say that there’s something …
I’ve been taking more videos recently with my phone and finally put a couple of minutes of video together about this leg of the trip. I’ll add more detail here, but here’s the link YouTube – Perpignan to Narbonne Just something I’m playing with along the way.
Today’s ride on Komoot I had an easy start today and had breakfast in town at a popular coffee shop. Today is my last day in Spain. I’m heading to Perpignan in France over two hills and through some interesting countryside. I had hoped that the town clock in Figueres had been designed by Dali …
(The picture above, is how I felt this morning) Today’s ride on Komoot Minus one this morning. Brrrr. Outside it looked really crisp, so I stayed in my room and had a leisurely bowl of muesli and coffee. It gets warmer fairly quickly so I didn’t have to wait too long. I find that if …
Today’s ride on Komoot This was a short and picturesque day away from the coastline. First, I had some breakfast in my tiny room – well, it was cheap. Then I rode into town and I did a lap before choosing a coffee shop for a couple of cortados. Next was the bakery where I …
Today’s ride on Komoot I was feeling ok yesterday after fighting a cold and chest infection for nearly a week and was looking forward to getting back on the bike. Barcelona is a really interesting city with lots to see. Sagrada Familia was a highlight but the general vibe here is a very laid back …
