Tales from Spain

Our last ride on Friday was a 90 miler and considered to be Eurocycler's most scenic route. There was a moderate amount of climbing and, as always, stunning views that even after a week we still cannot believe. The weather all week was incredible. Mid-seventies and sunny so much that repeated use of sunscreen was required. We were lucky to not have rain or bad winds to hinder our riding adventures. Everyone was glad to be getting off their saddles after 5 days, almost 350 miles, 10,000 feet plus of elevation and more than 11,000 calories burned.

The few glitches aside (a missed flight and Dave never receiving his luggage, it's seems that it may be in Grenada), the group finished with flying colors and plans to return in 2008.

Many thanks to the folks at Eurocycler for a true cycling training camp/vacation. The guides- Dan, Amir, Olaf and Richard were wonderful, informative, tolerant and fun. Photographers/logistics specialists Andrea and Eddie were on top of things all week and hiding in the bushes to capture some great candid photos of our gang. To the non-English speaking, water providing SAG drivers, we say "danke". We were always grateful to turn a corner and see them waiting to refill our bottles.

If you love to ride your bike and want a truly international, incredible cycling experience, start planning now to join us next April.
