Sunday ride from Madrid to Valladolid

Uncategorized 2 Comments

Sunday morning, and sent the rest of the Christmas greetings.
Took my bike out of parking and onto the sidewalk.
Packed.
Still had time for breakfast.
Then on the road.

I enjoyed my time at Leonardo’s.
Place was nice. Really nice.
Only Spanish heard in the streets and bars. And just a short walk into downtown.

The ride out of Madrid was easy. VERY little traffic. Blue skies. This is biking country 🙂
Even when the temperature dropped to 4degC, the sun made the ride enjoyable.

Arrived safely at the apartment hotel, a few clicks out of the city centre.
Am here for a week, so nice to have an apartment.

Unpacked.
TLC for the bike.
Then out for a stroll.
Found a pizza parlour.
Personal pizza (anchovy), glass of nice red wine and a cafe con leche for 8euros 🙂
Think I am going to like it here.

A whole week in one place!
You’ll be getting itchy feet. Ènjoy the break

Still some riding to be done 🙂
Then head south for some Pedro Ximenez. Later, will cross the border into the Algarve, to hook up with friends from the MBA
