I can’t believe I’ve finally made it to Spain.
In a little under a month (I crossed the Italy/France border on the 4th of July), I biked from Italy to Spain.
The last 12 km in France, along the coast, were beautiful and like a rollercoaster. A French guy on a roadbike pushed me up quite a bit of the climbs. It was amazing how much power he had, and we went really fast up the hill. I should have tried to convince him to follow me on the rest of the trip.
There was no one at the border crossing.
and in only 153 and a half hours of biking, I have made it to Spain!
I biked to Figueres and went to the Dali museum. That man was out of his mind. His art is awesome.
argh the computer I’m on really sucks so I can’t upload all my photos, but I do have some up of the Dali museum.
My plan is to bike to Barcelona, and I don’t know what I’ll do from there. It depends on the heat and the mountains…
distance 54 46
time 3 26 43
avg spd 15 81
max spd 49 32
Wow, you’ve ridden far!
Congrats on getting to Spain,
Looks so beautiful,
I’m off to the dentist this morning…
best,
Taliah
