Today’s ride on Komoot The rain cleared this morning and it promised to be a nice day for the run into Granada and a couple of rest days. To start with, I made the very steep descent into the CBD. I always hate losing so much height without a fun descent but breakfast and coffee …
Today’s ride on Komoot The overnight forecast wasn’t great but I was hopeful. Really, you can overthink everything about a trip like this. Sometimes it’s simply best to let things unfold and see what happens. Except, that is, when you get cold and wet. I hate that, but usually it’s worse when you’re thinking about …
Today’s ride on Komoot What are the locals called here in Morón de la Fronterra ? When I woke this morning, I really didn’t feel great. I felt like the head cold I’d been fighting off, had finally won. I pondered for half an hour over whether to take a rest day here and sleep …
Today’s ride on Komoot Another interesting day. It is Sunday and this morning was quite cold – about 5 degrees when I left. After getting through a few kms of cobbles in the old city, I took the smooth cycleways to the outskirts, then the rest of the day was on dirt and gravel roads …
Today’s ride on Komoot Today started well until I went outside. It wasn’t that bad, but there was low cloud and mist which wasn’t what I was expecting. I didn’t like the look of the local cafes for breakfast, so I left and dropped by a supermarket on my way out of town. It started …

Today’s ride on Komoot After ten days with Timo, Kath and Minou, today was back to the business of solo travel. It felt very quiet but also very familiar. I’ll certainly miss the fun we had hanging out around the Algarve and in Lisbon. Today was also the start of my ride to the ‘stans. …
Google told me that it was zero degrees this morning when I left. My GPS said 6 but I suspect Google was more accurate – my nose and ears agreed. I went to an ATM but baulked at the 7 euro fee to use it, then went and had a coffee at the Roma Cafe …
Today’s ride on Komoot My time in San Sebastian flew by and this morning I was heading west towards Bilbao. After yesterday’s stunning weather, today was destined to be wet, wet and wet. I had stayed in the very nice Pension Easo but my room backed on the an apartment with a large family. The …
What a difference nice weather makes. Today is beautiful here in Bayonne. No clouds and a max of 19. It feels strange to wear shorts again. I’ve missed that. Since the first part of Wales, it’s generally been cool and wet I also miss the daily blogging. Although I’ve been more sociable while off the …
