Haute Route Pyrenees: Day -2

ACCLIMATION DAY

Normally, today is the day we’d wake up after a poor sleep, enjoy our first Euro breakfast buffet, build bikes and go for a 2hr ride to wake up the legs.

But this go round we woke up to no bikes and rain. Bit of a downer. 


Lemonade out of lemons. We took a car 1hr south to San Sebastian, Spain. Had a 3hr lunch at one of the famous local 3star Michelin restaurants. Sounded like a good plan until all the rich food turned our guts inside out. 


Strolled the town. Finished the night at one of the better pintxos bars.


2hr drive home in bumper-bumper traffic at 12AM.

 

Not much more to report when you're away for a bike event with no bike equipment. Waiting game. Though bikes were scheduled to arrive today, now we're told tomorrow, day before Day 1 start. Fingers crossed.
