After lunch, there were two options. Pedal to the next hotel — we stayed at three different four-star hotels over five nights — or take the support van to the hotel to relax poolside with a cocktail. The afternoon ride was shorter, typically 10 to 20 miles, so we opted to pedal after lunch, if only to burn off calories from paella, garlic chicken and various tapas.
Over six days, riders of all levels cycled on different bikes at different speeds, but we came together for mid-morning coffee, midday lunch and post-shower dinner for stories, laughs, wine and entertainment — even a guitar concert one night.
Some say that e-bikes are cheating, but I call them “the great equalizer.” They empower riders of varying ages, interests and fitness levels to engage in all that cycling has to offer and revel in a two-wheeled exploration of the world.
