Puncture

19th September 2011

Leon to Astorga

Well the team had arrived and finally we were off. After getting their compostella’s   we set off from Leon to Astorga.  The route was fairly easy which was good because we had to get used to each other’s  riding and we could have a bit of fun on the way. Then it happened…. I had travelled over the Pyrenees through the waste lands of Spain and the vineyards of La Rioja , Chris went 10 miles and got a puncture coupled with this he loves to stop at every opportunity to sample food and drink, I must admit the man can eat but at 6ft 4 I am not going to argue with him. After 6 hours we arrived, and found a beautiful  campsite in a small village with a taberna full of food and drink,  everything the team needs for a difficult day tomorrow
