Bob: Pyrenesian mountain monkeys
We left Bordeaux late in the morning and entered the Basque country. Going up the mountain passes was quite taxing for the little bikes. We got used to churning uphill at about 30km/h, and then zooming down at 70km/h on neutral.
The highest points went inside clouds, and finally we called it a day in a small mountain town on the Spanish side of the border. We checked into a medieval monastery that had been renovated into a really nice hotel.
The plan is to start around 4am to make it to the last encierro of the San Fermin festival. Remains to be seen if Skoll can catch us before that.
Joe's bike has developed an alarming leak into the gas tank. Will be interesting whether he still has fuel tomorrow.
