Dobleve

We left San Sebastian this morning after a fantastic meal at Akelare the night before to ride to Bilbao; we didn’t make it there today. The initial ride out of San Sebastian was not pretty or fun, we went through the industrial area and some really busy roads to leave town. Thankfully it got better after 20k or so. We’d expected a relatively flat 120k ride to Bilbao, the reality was more like 180k and a lot of climbing.

Chorizo makes any ride seem better.

While longer than expected, the ride turned out to be a gorgeous tour through the coastal mountain range and we ended the day in Guernica after riding 110k and at least 2000m of climbing.

Tomorrow we’ll head north to Bermeo and around the coast and hopefully end up in Bilbao in the afternoon.
