Breakfast treats from beach side food cart & warung. Chicken bun & roll then pork satay, soup & sambal. Hit the spot!
Tuesday 17 October 2023
Morning stroll at Sanur Beach. Few clues we're in Bali - cos going on voices here you'd think it was 'straya mate!
Friday 6 October 2023
Obligatory beach ride-by, Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Nice, but getting out of here through traffic chaos is 'interesting'
Saturday 22 October 2022
Sunrise from above the beach at Orio. It's gonna be a good day!
Thursday 20 October 2022
Road sign said 26% but saw 30% gradient on the Garmin today. Yikes! Beautiful day on the bike all the same
Wednesday 19 October 2022
Walk in Lekeitio. Fancied lunch but no food to be seen, just bars with men sipping white wine. Odd! Nice beach tho
Tuesday 18 October 2022
Today's ride: Coastal warm up before some brutal inland gradients. Full summer kit. Amazing mid-October conditions!
Tuesday 3 May 2022
Windy walk home on't beach after lunch. Guess who forgot their sunnies? In my defence was overcast when we left 
Monday 2 May 2022
Wondering around Vilanova i la Geltru between a couple of brief showers. Nice little town, worth a look if passing.
Sunday 1 May 2022
Today's ride: beautiful route from Spanish coast through vineyards, forests, hills & back. Springtime perfection!
Saturday 30 April 2022
Starting the weekend right with little Saturday morning stroll on the beach
Friday 29 April 2022
Beach-side apperos/dinner. Fried anchovies for me but ordered paella for 2 in error so had to help Pratiwi. Oops!
Wednesday 20 October 2021
Sunset at Blanes. Seems like every beach here has a group of small fishing boats for tourists to snap. Works well
Wednesday 20 October 2021
Sunrise at Blanes. Bit too cloudy on the horizon TBH, but only here for 2 nights so best I could manage am afraid
Tuesday 19 October 2021
Passing few mins on Tossa de Mar beach as restaurant we'd like to try not open yet. Spanish lunch hours: terrible!
Monday 18 October 2021
More beaches & beautiful little villages today. Gotta say am liking the off season here - quiet & perfect weather
Sunday 17 October 2021
Today's ride: From Spanish coast into hills & back, then coastal road dropping down to the occasional beach. Awesome!
Saturday 16 October 2021
What more beach? Off season in practically empty Calonge on a lovely sunny evening. Nice when it's not crazy busy!
Saturday 2 October 2021
From beach, inland into rolling hills & finale over Jaizkibel coastal road. Latter in particular has amazing views!
Sunday 5 September 2021
The Med! We're not really beach people, but now & then have to remind ourselves mountains were the correct choice!
Thursday 22 July 2021
Ride to Atlantic & back via some, erm, interesting 'roads'! It ain't Sydney But then again - it ain't Sydney
Wednesday 19 August 2020
Today's ride: Erm... where's the mountains & what's this blue stuff? Cruising between beaches on the Medoc coast.
Thursday 25 June 2020
Oh look... a beach... and we're nowhere near the coast! Lovely spot by river Lot, Causses du Quercy National Park.
Monday 1 July 2019
Stroll along Hendaye beach, with obligatory ice-cream stop. Shame about the clouds, but TBH almost nicer like that.
Monday 1 July 2019
Morning wonder around San Sebastian. Overcast & quiet, but still lovely. Now... which of these tapas bars is open?
Sunday 30 June 2019
Arriving in San Sebastian: little walk along La Concha before we get to the serious business of the day...
Thursday 14 April 2016
Plenty of scope for CX training on today's ride By the beach & through wetland. And yes, those dots are flamingos!
Friday 8 April 2016
Post lunch walk home along the beach. Think that sangria is still working on someone
Thursday 24 March 2016
Beach front at Villajoyosa. This one's sandy: note the palms Can't say it's not colourful enough & rather like it!
Tuesday 22 March 2016
Evening stroll. Is cloudy but warm. No sand, but on the plus side, won't be find it in every orifice for hours!
Thursday 3 March 2016
Made it to the Med! We don't really do beach (too flat) But plus side: it's a bit warmer here! Swings/roundabouts
Tuesday 3 November 2015
Walk on the beach near Facho (Portugal). Bit grey & windy, but there's still fun to be had looking for treasure!
Tuesday 27 October 2015
Cathedral Beach, North Spain. Fabulous 'almost winter' morning exploring. Low tide here is a must. Well planned!
Friday 23 October 2015
Another deserted Spanish beach. This is Playa de la Griega, our lunch (well, very late lunch) stop for the day.
Friday 23 October 2015
The rather rocky & wind-swept beach at Vega. Only 1 sole surfer braving the elements here. Oh, & me (not Pratiwi!)
Thursday 15 October 2015
Hola España! Not a bad spot nor day for a first Spanish encounter. May they all be as sunny & picturesque as this!
Sunday 20 September 2015
Stroll along the coast around Cancale. Past local festivities. Oysters everywhere! Don't worry, we had some later
Wednesday 18 March 2015
Back by the beach, this time Benoa. You know what that means? More jogging at dawn, with breaks for pictures
Wednesday 4 March 2015
Karon beach just after sunrise. Almost makes the jogging bearably #MissMyBike 
Tuesday 3 March 2015
Sunset pre-dinner walk along Karon beach. Sorry about the tourist pics, but I did say there'd be palm trees coming
Tuesday 3 March 2015
Karon beach at midday. Umbrellas far as the eye can see but still many lobsters around. Ouch! Not for us until later.
Sunday 1 March 2015
Obligatory, 'sunset on the beach', holiday snap. Sorry... I'll put some palm leaf silhouettes in the next one
