Cycling Europe 2019: Day 13, Porto
It’s a non-cycling day. Indeed I haven’t set eyes upon Wanda since I locked her to a large pipe in the underground car park of my hotel here in Porto. I hope the authorities never read that last sentence out of context. She’ll be released in the morning… […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 12, Bragança To Tua (Douro Valley)
A late update from Porto after another epic day of cycling. More details tomorrow but here are the statistics and here is the video: You can read the story of today’s ride in this post on CyclingEurope.org.
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 11 (Part 2), Puebla De Sanabria To Bragança
I’ve arrived on Portugal after a much shorter ride than yesterday (see previous posts) and it’s nice to have a few hours to sit, sip wine, soak up the atmosphere and watch the world go by which happens to be exactly what I’m doing right now. I’ll do […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 11 (Part 1), Galende To Puebla De Sanabria
I really should read my guidebook more often. Or perhaps not… Yesterday’s long ride was a tour de force when it comes to cycling (for me) coming in at 150 km, but it had its frustrations towards the end of the day. Sometimes, when you open your map […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 10, León To Galende
A long, long – epic perhaps – day with a frustrating end. Look at the stats and watch the video. I’ll update the details at some point soon…
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 9, Riaño To León
Well this is rather nice… 100 km of cycling and I find myself in a little local bar in a small square close to my hostel – the Hospederia Rincon De Leon – which must surely be run by the world’s most friendly and useful hotelier. If Basil […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 8, Potes To Riaño
What a day! This post may or may not contain the usual video summary. It seems that I have no space remaining on my iPhone to store the edited video (to subsequently upload to YouTube) but the finest technical minds are working to solve the issue. Well, I […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 7, San Vicente De La Barquera To Potes
I’m getting back into the swing of writing these end-of-day posts. And this year, they come with added video! So here is today’s cinematic epic: Hope you enjoyed that. The full route details are available to see by following this link. That’s the visual and quantitive boxes ticked. […]
Cycling Europe 2019: Day 6, Santander To San Vicente De La Barquera
OK. A bit of catching up to be done. I’m sitting in a darkened room at Camping El Rosa – excellent site by the way – with three bored teenagers for ‘company’. They aren’t saying much, just staring at their phones away from the prying eyes of their […]
