This is our last day of cycling! It doesn't seem possible the trip is almost over. We all gather in the courtyard of the hotel in a jovial mood as we get ready to go. It looks a little like rain, but it will be an easy ride. We ride a short distance before getting on a beautiful bike path that goes all the way into Barcelona. It has marked lanes with a grassy area off to the side where people can play ball or run their dogs. We all meet up at 34 km at a bar on the beach. We will ride in to Barcelona together. The beach is empty today because of the weather. We ride along the coastline through 1992 Olympic venues going right past our apartment. It is the easiest ride in to a big city we have ever done. We ride up the Ramblas to our hotel near Placa Catalunya. We turn in our bikes and congratulate each other on our safe trip. We have ridden 43 km today.
We meet at 6:30 to take a walk to our restaurant stopping along the way for historical commentary by Philipp about what we are seeing. He has such good knowledge of history. We have our own room upstairs at the restaurant. The meal is delicious but there is to much food.
Philipp says a few words as do each of the guides. It has been a really wonderful trip! We have ridden a total of 550 km.
I will add some pictures when I get some.
