today we are we have to go maintain all the group together you cannot go spit up so we try we will try always to keep all the group together if something happened all the group will stop and wait for the others okay if you need something you will have always three guys like yesterday the first hour we are without this Fortran because they have to go and come back again but don’t worry about it we have all the things you need it we have food and water okay okay need something say hi and we are going I didn’t want to leave our hotel and Bayona Spain simply because the day before had been so incredible and our night in Bayona had been so spectacular that I just didn’t want to leave but the tour leaders promised me that there was still plenty of good cycling ahead of us and some magical accommodations as well so with some hesitation we left the city of Bayona and began cycling north towards the city of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain [Music] my name is Bob Lafleur and I’m from Ottawa Canada I belong to a small club of older folks that like to bike we’ve been to Cape Cod and niagara-on-the-lake here – up in Canada and we go for a bike trip every year and my wife and I saw this advertised going to the Camino has been on my bucket list for many years and she found this trip to our liking because of my advanced age walking with is not appropriate so we’re very very happy to be part of this what’s what’s been your favorite part of the trip this time well there’s some awfully nice people in the group the hotels we’re staying in are fantastic the food is great the bicycles are excellent and the view is unbelievable up and down the Atlantic coast like this the castles the homes the villages it’s all rather spectacular [Music] there was some beautiful beachfront cycling at the beginning of the day but as we neared the city of Vigo the traffic began to increase and we really had to concentrate on staying together as our large group slowly made our way through the crowded city [Music] thankfully the traffic was moving slowly and the drivers were courteous so he made it through the hustle and bustle of the city without any problems [Applause] [Music] after we made our way out of the city of Vigo and cross the iconic cobblestone bridge in a bow we knew that the worst of our bike ride that day was behind us [Music] while most of the way of st. James bike tour is extremely flat and this is a bike tour that almost anyone with any bike riding experience can complete successfully the final Hill of the day was a short but steep challenge [Music] gotta raise you to the top [Applause] Oh [Applause] [Music] [Music] so today was the fourth day of cycling on the way of st. James bike tour here in northern Portugal and Spain and today was easily the most challenging day of the trip thus far it was challenging because for two reasons really one we had to ride through some big cities and that involved riding next to cars and going on kind of crowded streets and that sort of thing that being said the tour leaders I thought did a really good job of guiding our big group through the city we were going a little slow at times because we were trying to keep the group together but in hindsight just looking at the situation I don’t know what the tour leaders could have done differently or to make the situation any better I think they did a really good job guiding such a big group through a crowded city like that so we had a couple statements like that and on top of that too we also had some short but steep hills declined today and some of the hills were so steep that a few people in the group had to get off and walk that’s fine I mean there’s nothing wrong with walking of course but I know a lot of people don’t like to do that or find it embarrassing or something so we were having to contend with that a little bit as well today but we made it to the hotel another beautiful place the para Doris another hotel in that same brand and yeah really happy to be here a good day I’m actually feeling the best I’ve felt on the entire trip thus far so in good spirits I’m just gonna take a shower now and then we’re going out to dinner later tonight so another good day here in northern Portugal and Spain
