Day 10 - Rest day in Salamanca
9th April 2018
The forecast cold snap has well and truly arrived, 3 degrees today but no snow yet, just a few showers. Salamanca certainly lived up to expectation. A beautiful city with some stunning renaissance architecture. The highlights were the Plaza Mayor and the cathedral (despite this being closed for a special occasion today)
The next 4 days are likely to be quite hard riding eventually taking us to Pamplona if all goes to plan. Given the weather there will be a finger and toe count at the end of every day.
Hi Martin, I have been following your ride on Strava but just got the Link to your blog today and have enjoyed catching up with your pictures and account of progress to date.
ReplyDeleteI understood from Pete that you were going South to North to take advantage of prevailing winds and to avoid cold weather. That seems to have gone a bit wrong?
Anyway best of luck from 'Gears & Beers' and keep up the blogging.

Thank you Kent. Yes the weather has shown an ugly face, 5 degrees and very heavy rain today. Was planning 90 miles but might need to revise. Still, better than being in a tent!
