Beaune to Barcelona by bike
Since I was enjoying the recumbent so much I decided that cycling to Spain would be a good idea. I didn't have time to cycle all the way from England and so started at Beaune, just south of Dijon, in France. For two reasons: It was just over 1000km so I could do it in two weeks, and European Bike Express could take me and the bike there.
Date of event: 7/5/2009
Volcanic Plain
12.27, there were great, expansive views over the volcanic plain and suddenly the climate and the vegetation seemed to be changing.
Solignac
13.47 - I stopped for lunch in Solignac, and, initially I'd thought I'd stop here but the campsite was closed so I had to press on.The owner of the bar had said he had no food either but when I pressed, and he realised I was on a bike, he rustled me something up. I needed it, I was starting to tire.
Downhills
14.17, lunch over there was a fast, curving descent out of Solignac.
Chadron
15.07, volcanic plains, hills, and ravines - it was good riding in spite of my growing fatigue.
