Day 19 - Biking Adventure

Today was a biking day. Peter had scouted out a good ride the other day, so we decided to head that way again.

He’d tried to book bikes the night before, but RBC complicated the process and his payment didn’t go through. Arriving at Cycle Tours about 10 am there were only large men’s bikes available. There was no way I could get my old inflexible legs over that high bar. 🙁 l ended up on a extra small mountain bike and loved it - great suspension and the fat tires made it seem super safe.

We headed off through a lovely huge park - Jardin de la Devesa - then out of the city. The bike path was well marked, so even we couldn’t get lost. We followed the river and chanced upon a group of kayakers having good fun. See pics.

Pausing for pizza & beers at a tiny place in Bonmartí, we couldn’t believe how cheap it was compared to Girona.

After trying to find a different route back, we finally gave up. Must confess, I purchased AllTrails, plus downloaded Ride with GPS, but both apps totally confuse me. Really have to spend some time trying to figure them out - would eliminate a lot of stress 😉

Heading back we were caught in the rain, but fortunately had our rain jackets. Rather than head back through the park, we went another way and ended up seeing sooooo much more of the city. Must say, bikes are the way to go - fast, efficient, and really let you see and appreciate your surroundings.

Couldn’t resist taking a few more pics of the lovely bridges and colourful houses while walking back home.

All in all a great day. 😀Les mer
