Hi all We had a big sky day as you can see from our pictures on our day ride to Estepa from Ecija. It was an 85km ride there and back on quiet roads with good cloud cover and great views. As we approached Estepa all we could see is a black cloud hovering over the city but in the end there was no rain and we had a good lunch at a cafe and headed back into heavier traffic and a head wind! It seems that everyone was into harvest mode with big and small trucks moving cotton and olives to the processing plants! Estepa was up on a hill with lots of industry around the highway interchange and all we could smell was chocolate brownie! It was driving Marion mad! Unfortunetly the historic town was up another steeper series of hills and we decided we needed food not more climbing! Dave and Jetje: have a great ride to Texas and we hope you get some fabulous rides in and have fun on your event raising money and awareness with your cancer cause! Harold and Marion
