Una Morcilla del Burgos
Sometimes even a punctured tube can bring good things with it.Yesterday I really had time to rest. I arrived at 13.00 and had nothing else to do than to eat some food and take a short walk after the dinner. Dinner in a small kitchen with an Englishman who wouldn't tell me his name (for unknown reason), but spoke French very well, and two French girls. As the stores were closed, they kindly let me have some of their food, and I let them have a bite of my Morcilla del Burgos which I got from the Bike-repair guy.
This morning I woke up well rested at 5.30 and left at 6.00. The first few kilometers was an ascent of 12% and 1000 meters, which apparently was possible to climb with the 125mm cranks. Then flat, flat, flat ground, for a really long distance. Gravel, roads broad enough for one car during the first half, and the other half was more often narrow trails with colorful flowers (marvellous scents also!) flanking each side. For the last 20 kilometers or so, I travelled with a Spanish guy who had worked in France for a while, so we had some interesting conversations about everything from Spanish economy to sports and midsummer. There
Hill
Just after Castrojeriz, there is a 12% hill, which I was very happy to leave behind. are so many nice people everywhere.
So, currently, after a number of tiresome tenths of kilometers (must be something like 80), I am at the municipal refuge in a place called Sahagún. It is a nice place, but it is in a church where there is also a scene where a huge number of children are practicing for a school show. Loud happy music isn't always the best music to relax to. Anyhow, I think I will go out for dinner soon.
