After three weeks on the road, we rolled into Cóbreces to meet up with my sister, Louise, and my brother-in-law, Robert, for a well-earned week of rest.

Another warm day and some sharp climbs meant we were working hard right until the end. But we made it — and the local bar was a perfect place to toast the ride before unpacking and settling in.

We’ve loved every minute. The weather’s been kind, the riding memorable, and we’re genuinely grateful we got to complete something like this.

Now, with no need to be anywhere for a few days, we’ll take a bit of time to let it all sink in. And who knows — we’ll probably start thinking about the next trip.
