A Little Rain
Written by Kevin Masters Tuesday, April 26, 2011 01:35 AM
Saturday, Day 6, and 5th day of big riding. Our plan was to hit Randa which meant a fairly straight forward ride to get there and then a nice gradual switchback of 6 km up to a fortress. Big stone walls surrounding buildings inside. Early into our ride we leanred that even in Spain things are not perfect although still darn close. We got stuck in some hard rain in Sineu for about 10 to 15 minutes. The thing is here, versus at home is that the temperatures are so comfortable that outside of some soggy feet it is still quite comfortable to keep riding. The only hitch here in Spain in the rain is on climbs or up in the mountains where the roads get icy slick with moisture. If this happens then plans must be evaluated and possibly altered just for safety. Fortunately today the rain stopped in time for the Randa acsent to be safe so everyone was able to add another epic climb to their log books.
Sunday was a transition / and therefore rest day. The one week campers go home and the second week campers arrive. This always makes for a good excuse for an adventure outside the resort, and a break from buffets.
Check out a variety of pictures here on our site and facebook.
Every now and then, when I'm not busy working with athletes or taking care of business, I find time to write an article or two about things that are motivating, inspiring, and educating.
