SPAIN Tour 2024 - Los Montesinos to the Badlands deserts

Blog - Day 12 (Sun 2 Jun)

Gergal-Mojacar( Spain )

All you keen readers of the blog may have noticed that over the past few days we’ve been staying in all the Gs - Granada, Gaudix, Gor and last night Gerbil so 4Gs - the G spot.

Today we’ve moved on to the M, as we’ve to Mojacar.

We had our breakfast in the local Gerbil cafe where all the Gerbilites were on the Johnnie Walker’s at 0900. Ah Spain, you can’t beat it.

So on with this cycle thing, plenty of rolling roads and some hair raising rollercoaster rides, scream if you want to go faster!

We passed Fort Bravo, film set for the spaghetti westerns, looked a bit dodge. So we moved on.

Onto the gravel where a randy Billy Goat wanted to test his horn on us, we accelerated away and left him feeling sheepish.

We were chased by 2 angry Jack Russells today, one went after Gordon and one on Jim, on both occasions the wee fellows were gubbed.

We got to the coast and the headwind that had been howling all day got worse, luckily 1 of the group was having a rest day and was time keeping for the pacers.

Tuna day has been a stain on the group when one member refused to eat his beautifully prepared meal upsetting the 78 year old granny Spanish chief. Ryland has been banned. He wouldn’t even let us take it for one of the wee gubbed dogs.

So thats day 12, nice easy day and a trip down to the coast. Apart from the hairpin bends and climb up to the sky, twice.
