Riding from the sunny Costa Brava to the Spanish Pyrenees, this trip had it all. Starting along the mountainous Mediterranean coast where temperatures soared into the low 40's Celsius, the roads were hot, but the vibes and seawater were warm and welcoming. As we rode from one glimmering blue cove to another, there were constant smiles and laughter as people got to know each other. The group gelled quickly and good times were had by all.
After two great days riding around Girona, the group tackled the lofty Pyrenees, our high point being the Coll de la Creueta. With a 26 km ascent to this pass which tops out over 2000m, this made for an epic day and an even better descent.
Three days in the high mountains passed far too quickly after much satisfying riding, we found ourselves back on the beaches of the Mediterranean. I would like to thank everyone in the group who made this trip so enjoyable.
Let's do it again!
