Bike Touring Spain

After a nice Thanksgiving visiting family on the East Coast (of the U.S.) the wife and I (that’s right, we got hitched) traveled to Spain and Portugal for a cycling honeymoon. As you would expect is was a wonderful experience.

We found cycling in the mountains the most rewarding. Although the climbs could be hard and long. The descents are pure downhill bliss.
