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 …
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 …
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 …
