• Congratulations on your first 1000km! Enjoying reading about your adventures and looking at amazing pictures! Also congratulations on a good haircut in a foreign speaking country! Found any use for luxury money yet?! Jo x

• Cheers Andy – helmet gave some sense of security during yesterday´s 50km per hour descent (meanwhile Justin topped 61 kph…)

  Jo – will be posting food specific blog shortly for you and still got treat money in mind for something – maybe French Pyrenees hotpools?

• Picos De Europa – A Ride In The Park

  
  
  

  I caught sight of the Cantabrian mountains as our ferry pulled into Santander, big giant beasts of mountains with snow stuck to them which loomed over the city. While the coast embraced spring, the mountains stayed in view for the first few days as we acclimatised to Spain and headed slowly West towards the Picos de Europa national park. – Posted by Emma

• Spanish Easter

  
  
  

  There was a real egg shaped chocolate shortage in the lead up to Easter in Spain. No foil wrapped cheap chocolate in sight, no box sets of cartoon themed cups and hollow eggs, no Cadbury creme eggs. It made us start to wonder what countries shared the commercialised traditions that we’d grown up with. New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom – of course. America? Probably. – Posted by Emma

• Climbing Mountains On Bread + Jam

  
  
  

  Arriving at the La Vega campsite wearing full winter cycling kit I felt a little over dressed for the spring sunshine, even though I was only beginning to feel my fingers and toes after the 16km descent from Puerto de San Glorio. Our priorities were shelter, food and warm showers as we tried to recover from the cycling of the previous two days. – Posted by Justin
