WE ARRIVED IN BARCELONA AT 7:30 AM AND IMMEDIATELY CLEARED CUSTOMS AND FETCHED OUR BAGS.
THE PROBLEM WITH ARRIVING AT OUR HOTEL SO EARLY IS ROOMS ARE NEVER READY, SO WE SPENT THE NEXT FEW HOURS ASSEMBLING OUR BIKES AND WALKING DOWN “LA RAMBLA” THE 5TH AVE OF BARCELONA.
WE MET UP WITH TWO OF OUR FRIENDS, STEPHEN AND RACHEL AND MET A LADY, AVIS, WHO IS RIDING THE HANNIBAL TOUR WITH A GROUP LEAVING A DAY AFTER WE START. AVIS IS FROM AUSTRALIA; SHE’S 80 YEARS OLD AND A COMPETITIVE CYCLIST. SHE’LL BE RIDING AN E-BIKE ON THE TOUR BECAUSE OF A KNEE ISSUE.
OUR JOURNEY BEGINS TOMORROW. WE ARE SHUTTLED OUT OF THE BUSY CITY WHERE WE’LL MAKE SURE ARE BIKES ARE PROPERLY ASSEMBLED, HAVE LUNCH AND START A SHORT 20K RIDE TO OUR FIRST HOTEL. THE REAL RIDING BEGINS SATURDAY.
