Camprodon to Girona

Distance: 60 miles
Elevation lost 2, 500 ft
T max: 72 degrees
Highlights: Today has been the best day of biking yet. Beautiful mountains and a lot of downhill (with just enough uphill pedaling to stretch the tired muscles). These hills are crawling with bikers. I'm not sure if it was a normal Sunday, or if it was because Saturday was so rainy, but we saw 79 road bikers (including Team Garmin) and 36 mountain bikers. Of the road bikers, we saw 33 of them in the first hour of our ride. This area of the Pyrenees is beautiful (probably the French side was just as beautiful, but we couldn't see it because of the rain). My words would not do the mountains justice - hopefully some of our pictures will show the beauty. (I'm not uploading the photos at an internet cafe, the connection is too slow. It is taking me awhile - and lots of Euros -just to post on the blog.)

Dinner tonight came from a recomendation of our Cicloturisme company: a little French bistro where we had a fantastic green bean and prawn salad with pesto dressing and "le pizze" with pate and goat cheese.
