Hi folks Sorry Becks can't seem to download photos again Our new bikes are bog standard but I did photograph some like you are thinking about all covered in in Barcelona. Hair looking a bit of a mess but not a dreadlock in sight. We have scarpered through France and we're sorry to those of you who know and love France but we can't seem to grow to like it. We covered 273 miles on our new bikes and we hopped on a train from Marseille to Nice to catch up for the ...

We are thinking of training into Barcelona from here as it appears difficult to stay clear of the motorways which we are not allowed to go on - thankfully. But we´ll know better tomo...

Apologies first can´t download any photos from this destination. Have cycled now 285 miles in England and a further 100 in Spain and have reached a small town called Estella. It is fiesta weekend so we decided to stay at a really good campsite surrounded by mountains in the Navarra region. I hasten to add that we have had to cycle over those mountains to get here and this is probably why we have only cycled 100 miles. These hills(mountains 850 m picture to follo...
