Still Getting Settled EN Espania

Today was a bike day. It started with Lynette and I taking a bike ride about 22 kilometers out a road by our house. We just saw some cyclist on it a couple of days ago, so went exploring. Now I know why so many cycling teams use Spain as their home country. The ride was everything you would expect a ride to be in Spain: Rolling hills, Small villages, very little traffic and at the end an old Monastary. The roads were great with a lot of room for cycling.

We also went to Camarara's and fixed up a bicycle for Weston. They have a bike that is about 4 years old but has been rode 3 or 4 times. As it turned out we only had to pump up the tires and adjust one of the brakes. ON the way home I rode 2 bikes and Weston rode a bike. I almost died in Spain (not on the agenda by the way). The handle bares of the 2 bikes got tangled and I lost control I veered out into the on coming traffic but regained control just in time. Pretty scary for me. With 3 bikes we can get around now.

We enjoy the custom of having a large meal at siesta time and a smaller meal later in the evening. I think this may be a habit for the future.

There's not much video today. I just forgot to get it out. Sorry
