#Day151 Adventure
Pinoso to Abanilla – 31km 18C Terrain: roads and serious off-road Today was a day of adventures. Started out pretty well making faster progress than I’ve made in a while so was feeling pretty chuffed with myself. The scenery for all of today was simply stunning. Vast planes between mountains then rolling green hills followed […] Read More
#Day150 Lost for words
Yecla to Pinoso – 30km 9C (-1C to start!) Terrain: roads Wow, 150 days, who’d have thought. Not all on the move (includes rest days) but that’s how long this challenge has been going so far. I still can’t believe I’m actually doing it some days, it’s so far removed from anything I’ve done previously […] Read More
#Day149 Climbing
La Font de la Figuera to Yecla – 34km 9C Terrain: roads and offroad Today was tough and I was a little surprised at the amount of climbing I ended up doing! Heyho. I felt like I dug into some mental reserves today. I went through a place about half way and was genuinely tempted […] Read More
#Day148 Puddles, climbs and wonderful times
Montesa to la Font de la Figuera – 31km 16C Terrain: roads and offroad What a day.

Tired legs but I think, if I’m […] Read More

#Day145 Little goals
Almussafes to Carcaixent – 22km 16C Terrain: roads Well, today ended up being shorter than expected but after a rough night and what feels like my body fighting a virus (please stay away!), I decided to drag myself out and then convince the body and achy limbs to come along too. It’s crazy what a […] Read More
#Day144 Nature, birds and colours
Valencia to Almussafes – 25km 16C Terrain: roads Still smiling on clouds thanks to all of the amazing support so again, thank you to everyone. Blown away is now an understatement. Today was lovely and relaxing. It took a while to get out of Valencia but on the way I came across this, lots of […] Read More
#Day143 Thank you! AND 3,000km!
Almenara to Valencia – 37km 14C Terrain: roads Firstly, I want to say a HUGE and MASSIVE thank you to the amazing support I received when I posted my vivrunseurope video yesterday (and just generally). I’m completely blown aware and quite overwhelmed. Thanks to everyone who took the time to look at the video, ‘like’ […] Read More
