Over the mountain tops tops, but no photo's visibility down to 20 meters, wet & cold.
Tomorrow we go from Pamplona to Zaragoza.
Ooh, hard work! Well done to all of them! I'm a beginner and am hard pushed to do 10 km and then I'm nearly crying for my Mum! The hubby is a keen cyclist and would have easily done hours and hours but now forgets he's not 25 any more!
Very interesting speedycar, I'm enjoying reading about the progress, thanks!
Best ride so day so far, journey was from Teruel to Sagunto. Lush green mountain and valleys. Steep climbs and great drops any cyclist would enjoy.
If the next few days continue without problems hoping to be in Arboleas square (Town Hall) around 5.p.m. but will keep posted (may change if delayed) Hope to see you there.

Route planned and hotel booked for tomorrow. Around 130 - 140 k as we can not use motorways so it's B roads. Calp here we come.
Early morning start paid off missed the morning traffic, but did loose the back up car (oh dear) found them later than plan. 100 miles plus again. Today was coastal roads over looking the blue Med. Tomorrow is from Calpe to Murcia. Only two days left on the bikers.
