| On The Road Re-fueling |
Packed a dry tent and left Vitoria-Gasteiz for Burgos. I got a welcome to another climb start, as you can see from the photo, and the weekend boys on their carbon bikes whistled past me offering the odd “Hola!” before standing on the peddles and disappearing. The landscape was now more open and wide and the vegetation more parched as I took the major road between the two major cities. The hard shoulder was wide and in good condition as I rolled along eating up the miles in this fairly bleak world. Lunch was a highlight with pork steak, fried eggs, bread and chips. Saturday meant that the traffic was quieter and I made sure to stock up again as in Spain the pleasure of Sunday retail has not got here yet! Again lots of ‘toots’ from drivers wishing me well and by late afternoon I found Burgos, which has the most exquisite cathedral I have ever looked around. The camp site was again another pfaff to find yet obvious and easy if you were doing it again! This time I found a more ‘holiday’ than ‘stop over site’ and as usual loads of Dutch and Belgians, added to the mix were a few Portuguese.
