CYCLING 500 MILES ACROSS SPAIN! (PT.2)

EPISODE #65
I'm super excited to share this with you... this was an incredible week long cycling trip that I went on in December last year. This trip came about after I was spontaneously asked to go on it by my new friend Benjamin. Before this I hadn't met either of my cycling buddies on this trip, so that was exciting in itself... meeting new people and cycling a multi day journey across the beautiful Spainish countryside. What more do you want!
However, it certainly wasn't all smooth sailing... we come into quite a few troubles along the way, not mention the weather being far from ideal! But we don't let that get in our way of having an incredible time on our bikes.
This episode (part 2) takes you along on our journey for the last 3 days of our journey. We start off in a small town in the mountains called Todolella and start making our way back towards the coast. We stop off in Reus first off all and then work our way on the Barcelona and finally making it to our end destination of Girona.
This really was an amazing trip, I hope you enjoy reliving it with me!

@PauloBurgio Жыл бұрын

What an experience. God, I’d love a week of riding everyday. Saw you had a quick chat about tubeless setup towards the end. I’ve ran tubeless and the main advantage is that you take the weight of 2 inner tubes off your bike. But there’s always a “however”. If you are riding main roads then great. But if like me you need to go down a few country lanes that might have small stones / loose gravel in places it’s just a matter of time until a flint takes a slice out of your tyre and the sealant liquid just don’t fix them. At that point you need to remove the tubeless valve and begin fitting an inner tube that has a long enough valve to make it out of the depth of whatever carbon rim you are running. All this whilst getting covered in sealant jizz.

I did a training camp in Girona and we had Alan Piper, Robby Mcquewan and Stuart O'grady and Marcel Worst there, we stayed in a small town called El Estartit, absolutely loved it, we took a day off and got the coach to Barcelona to watch the final stage of the Catalan week at the Olympic site in Barcelona (montjuic), i was standing about 5 ft away from Miguel Indurain and Richard Vironque by the team buses, amazing experience

Amazing journey!!! Come and do one in Galicia, Northwest Spain in summer!! You could do Santander to Santiago for example and go through the Picos de Europa mountains, or along the coast line and see things like the Playa de Catedrales. Message me if you want more advice, its a very word of mouth sorta place.
