Day 12 - Sant Julia Vilatorta

Strange suburb full of multi-million pound mansions!!.. Bit wierd really, not exactly a standard stop over town.

We cycles 69 miles today, the first 15 took 2 and a half hours as we climbed up to 1700 meters, we then had a 40 mile down hill stretch out of the foothills, and took us less than 2 hours!.. The last miles were a slog through Vic.. Looking forward to finishing tomorrow.. About 50 miles left

    hey guys,

    WOW you did it!!! muchos congrats getting through the pyrenees!!! was it as bad as you thought???? probably worse i am guessing. i have been watching some of the Athletics in Barcelona and they had a huge thunderstorm earlier today so hopefully that would have cleared the air for you tomorrow.

    Thought you were finishing on Saturday are you early??? you have beaten us too tapas which we have yet to have, we have a scheduled trip for tomorrow to marbella and Tapas is def on the menu followed by Flamengo on saturday as it is Scott B day. am sure you will get wrecked tomorrow when you have finished, ensure you have the biggest bottle of champers ever!!!!!!

    anyway will blog tomorrow for your final day. Good Luck guys we are so proud of you :)

    Em and Scott
