Day 45 – 23/05/2013 – Total so far 2610.3km


Pampelona – Logrono

96.0km, 6hrs 39mins, 1738m total climb


Breakfast in the hotel, cereal and coffee then hit the road. We knew it should be fast today, we only had to climb out if the Pamplona basin (like a big crater that Pamplona sits in), and then it was a straight road to Logrono. We passed through Puenta de Reina, where we had planned to camp before we stopped in Pamplona for a day off.

We met the old German guys again as we overtook them up a hill leaving Pamplona. They were doing about half the km's we were doing, and still pushing their bikes up hills. We doubted their stats even more now!

We had a double room with a shared bathroom in a building above an internet cafe. Was actually a very nice building and I think we had it to ourselves. 35 Euro, with a supermarket 2 mins away. Ideal. We didn’t look around the town as we have seen a lot of these towns recently. We had turkey stir-fry with rice for dinner and got an early night!

Pelerin route just off the main road all day

Sticking to the old original route

Rain never far away
