For those back in Alberta, you'll be happy to know that it's not always paradise here. We did have to ride through some rain and cooler temps today. We were quickly warmed up though with the fantastic scenery and tough climbs. Our guide today must have caught some of the Paris Roubaix on the weekend, as we were unknowingly lead onto a very rough stretch of cobble stone. Sarah and company would be happpy to know that other ride leaders pulled this on me possibly as pay back for the interesting rides i tend to find for our riders sometimes? The group is fantastic, keen to try everything even by the 3 rd workout of the day and then still take in the 8 pm lecture, most staying awake. Wednesday will be our first longer sustained climb of ~ 6km, so everyone is excited to what Spain riding is really all about.
