Girona

Just two days after returning from Barcelona, I'm back in Spain. This time for some cycling and catching up with good friends. Oh, how fantastic it is to be back on a bicycle! And with deadgoats!

I'm not going to lie to you, I've lost a LOT of fitness after a year of very sporadic cycling. Erik was good to get me out in Cambodia, Sydney and New York and I think that is what is keeping me rolling right  now. But Girona is offering me some serious humble pie, combined with a scoop of inspiration. Some of the finest cycling terrain I have ever had the pleasure to experience (twice, now!).

Nothing like a good sugar binge after a long climb. How is it that experienced cyclists repeatedly find themselves an hour overdue for a snack and then feasting on coca cola, chips and icecream? Oh wait, that's why I ride. 

After a good ride, there is a lot of nice euro stuff to check out around Girona.

This kind of stuff makes me homesick to be in Calgary with the cycling community again.
