2018-09-14 : Olot .. and a whole lot more!

Hi All,

The Big Ride for today was a 108km 1300m ascent to the north-west of Girona. Easy getting out of town (were did that one-way street come from?) ... and more exciting getting back into town ...(note: best to stay on roads and forget the bike paths until you know them well!)

The roads to Olot got quieter and quieter as we meandered up the valley with a small river to our right. Then Marion, Grahame and Harold pressed on to Olot for lunch followed by a short climb with lots of down hills all the way home.

Doug, Christian and Carman did other variations - Carman fell in love with a 900m tunnel and did it three times and somehow beat Doug and Christian home! We all had a fun day and found the route easier that anticipated.

Then Doug cooked us a fabulous salmon dinner and everyone else pitched in with appetizers, wine, beer and dessert .. lots of fun! Thanks Doug!

Tomorrow an easy ride to some medieval town's to the east of Girona. I'm sure it will be uneventful as we are surely getting familiar with the routes in and out of town!

Cheers
Harold and Marion
