We cycled 96km last weekend. A little saddle-sore, but otherwise painless. What a fantastic and beautiful ride! We took a 2 hour train to Ripoll saturday morning and cycled 7 hours to Thomas & Julieanne's rural hideaway paradise in Amer to stay the night, then another 2.5 hours to Girona on sunday.

The "Via Verde" is a trail that has taken the place of an old railway line. It's cool because every little town you go through has what used to be a train station, usually converted into a restaurant or cafe. It actually goes all the way to the Costa Brava, but we had to get back home, so we hopped on a train at Girona. We had done Girona to the coast a couple of years ago already.
