#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
#Day136 Spreading the word
Oropesa del Mar to Castellon de la Plana – 25km 20C Terrain: roads A morning light show. Then it got scary! I had to take the N-340 for a bit and the ‘hard shoulder’ I had been using so far had disappeared! […] Read More

Amposta to Vinaros – 33km 18C Terrain: roads Close to the start I came across another dead end! Need to be careful of these maps in Spain, two days running! “Road” ended. Anyhow, it sort of lead me to a much quieter road, lovely. […] Read More

El Perrello to Amposta – 26km 18C Terrain: roads Leaving the small hotel I was staying at last night, the owner gave me a gift, local olive oil and honey, so lovely. It put a smile on my face all day. She’d been on many cycling tours herself and […] Read More
#Day126 My Dad!
Salou to L’Hospitalet de l’Infant – 25km 18C Terrain: roads (quieter ones) I met my Dad today so Where’s Wally/Viv worked, yay!!! It ended up being completely by chance. I arrived in L’Hospitalet de l’Infant along the seafront, beautiful, gorgeous turquoise sea. Dad had just picked up a rental […] Read More
#Day125 Excited!
Creixell to Salou – 32km 18C Terrain: roads Bit of a tough day today, physically and mentally, just one of those days that you just need to get through. More dual carriageways, but the good thing about Spain is that, so far, on most of the big roads, there’s a proper hard shoulder that Bob […] Read More
