Coming off of a well deserved rest day on Thursday where participants are encouraged to be tourists we were on route for another dynamite day and a ride to Betlam. It's a great ride in about 90 km with a hill, ~4 km long thats just about right for 100% effort but ends in just the right amount of time for the head to get around. After the ascent to the peak, riders drop down to a monestary that provides one of the most impressive lookouts over a small spanish village on the ocean. On the way back our particular group lead by a Geramn machine, Elmar, took it upon ourselves to sneak off the main highway into a small town, again on the ocean, to enjoy some delicious pizza. Opun getting back out onto the highway again we managed to run into the other groups on their route back to home base, where it was agreed to have the final wo of the day in the town of Can picafort where there is a place that has the most amazing strawberries and strawberry related treats, cake, sangreas (sp?), and coffee. See the pics of these treats.

Saturday its back to putting in some mileage with a steady 5 km climb in the middle of a 120 km to Randa.
