EPISODE #65
    I’m super excited to share this with you… this was an incredible week long cycling trip that I went on in December last year. This trip came about after I was spontaneously asked to go on it by my new friend Benjamin. Before this I hadn’t met either of my cycling buddies on this trip, so that was exciting in itself… meeting new people and cycling a multi day journey across the beautiful Spainish countryside. What more do you want!
    However, it certainly wasn’t all smooth sailing… we come into quite a few troubles along the way, not mention the weather being far from ideal! But we don’t let that get in our way of having an incredible time on our bikes.
    This episode (part 2) takes you along on our journey for the last 3 days of our journey. We start off in a small town in the mountains called Todolella and start making our way back towards the coast. We stop off in Reus first off all and then work our way on the Barcelona and finally making it to our end destination of Girona.
    This really was an amazing trip, I hope you enjoy reliving it with me!

    1. I did a training camp in Girona and we had Alan Piper, Robby Mcquewan and Stuart O'grady and Marcel Worst there, we stayed in a small town called El Estartit, absolutely loved it, we took a day off and got the coach to Barcelona to watch the final stage of the Catalan week at the Olympic site in Barcelona (montjuic), i was standing about 5 ft away from Miguel Indurain and Richard Vironque by the team buses, amazing experience

    2. Really enjoy the videos. I was worried you had kept that "say ley lay leyyyy" song in the edit the whole way though 😄
      But it was cut, should never have doubted your editing style 🙌🏻 legend.

    3. Thomas. Loving your videos. You are a master with your camera, editing, story telling and production. Hope to see more of the three of you on new international adventures.

    4. Can't believe you even went on those roads! I would much prefer to spend it at barca,great videos but noooo silly roads PLEASE makes me cringed!
      HOWEVER fxxking great videos my friend 🙏

    5. Amazing journey!!! Come and do one in Galicia, Northwest Spain in summer!!

      You could do Santander to Santiago for example and go through the Picos de Europa mountains, or along the coast line and see things like the Playa de Catedrales.

      Message me if you want more advice, its a very word of mouth sorta place.

    6. Glad to here the legs get used to the torture/workout. But Ya think of taking a day off to just hang out? Oh whats that jacket your wearing?
