Day 6
HOURTIN - San Sebastian
September 18, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Der Morgen verspricht einen sonnigen Tag. Bestes Wetter in Hourtin Por zum Start. Bis Mimizan Plage sollte auch noch alles besten sein. Die Strecke dorthin meist nicht aufregend, geradeaus durch endlose Pinienwälder. In Mimizan kurz geschaut ob der Atlantik noch vor Ort ist und etwas essbaren zu mir genommen. Kaum zu Ende gegessen zu es sich blitzschnell zu. Schnell den Strampelanzug angezogen und versucht dem Regen zu entkommen. Keine Chance, mehr 50km/h war wegen Sicht nicht mehr drin. Halbe Stunde war der Spuk vorbei, raus aus dem Regenkombi um ihn 10 Minuten später wieder an zu ziehen. Das hielt sich bis an den Rand der Pyrenäen, durch die ich dann einen kleinen Abstecher machte bevor ich auf San Sebastián zuhielt. Traumhafte Straßen und schöne Dörfer. Leider hatte der Wind die Kastanien runtergeschüttelt, was in den Kurven teilweise etwas Unruhe ins Fahrwerk brachte😜. Nichtsdestotrotz bei sonnigem Wetter gegen 17.30 in San Sebastián angekommen, wo Robert und Teresa mich schon erwarteten und wir e noch einen sehr schönen Abend hatten.Read more

Spanien wir kommen! Nach einem kurzen Besuch des Dorfes Navarrenx ging es durch malerische Landschaften und Dörfer Richtung Pyrenäen und über den Col de la Pierre Saint Martin nach Spanien. Durch das wunderschöne Roncal Tal fuhren wir zur Arbayun Schlucht und bestaunten die dort lebenden Geier. Weiter zur Wüste Bardenas Reales. Über Schotterpisten ging es durch diese urwüchsige Landschaft, die auch schon oft als Filmset genutzt wurde. Über Soria mit Besuch des Klosters San Juan de Duero nach Abejar.Read more

Day 20
Platinum CD reserve team
June 14, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Set off in the van from the busy campsite in Burgos and pretty soon on quiet empty roads. We had 2 stops on our journey today. First in a beautifully preserved medieval town called Covarrubias. There was a Norwegian connection as the top banana brought back a Norwegian princess for his wastrel brother. She was so lovely her sister in laws poisoned her...
Then we went on to an 11th century monastery in Santo Domingo de Silos. Just scraped in to see the cloisters before they shut for siesta or prayers or something.
Absolutley delicious pintxos in the town square...stuffed peppers (stuffing not determined, however. Black pudding?) and chorizo sausage cooked in cider.
They told us the Gregorian monks had made a CD of their chants that had gone platinum so we went to a service in the church in the early afternoon but clearly got the B team...some old monk kept blowing his nose really loudly during the singing. We snuck out the back...
Moved on to a wooded campsite by a reservoir deep in the middle of nowhere.
Only the birds to keep us company .Read more

Day 21
Cyclocross
June 15, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Restless night worrying about bears and wolves we are so deep in the woods...
Set off on a gentle 30 mile bike loop around a huge lake/reservoir nearby. Had a relaxed stop at a small village to buy picnic supplies and have a coffee. Then off we went again unaware our route was blocked crossing the dam . This meant a choice. An extra 30k or so or a rough bike path through the woods. Ian got the casting vote. Disturbing start through a herd of cows with a massive horned bull in the middle.
The surface got worse and then unridable sand and stones so it turned into a cyclo-cross event, pushing and lugging the bikes along for several more km than was good. There were no words spoken till we reached the road at last....
Then things improved. Nice picnic stop and another stretch on the Santander to Valencia bike path to finish. We are friends again now.... Scenery was beautiful.Read more
