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.

Paziols
6.00am It was the morning following the fete day in this area and as I rode through Paziols all the 20 or so people, who were still up from the night's revels and were having coffee on the terrace of the local bar, cheered me.
Pyrenees
6.27am Now those really are the Pyrenees that I can see in the distance and I'll be at the feet of them ready for the climb over tomorrow - exciting.
