Today Lynette and I rode to a small village called Barbadillo de Pez in the mountains about 70 kilometers from Burgos. It was a crazy ride with a small stretch on the freeway. Jesus the religion teacher at Madison's school led the way. It was very slow. Lynette and I asked for our turn in the front but he didn't want us to. It was the longest 70 kilometers I have ever rode. Weston came up with The family that invited us. She is a teacher at Madison's school. The town was very beautiful. There was a river running right through the middle of it. The family that invited us said that the river is catch and release only and that there are many trout in it. (i didn't see any with my trained fish eyes however)
The family prepared a BBQ with every kind of meat you could think of. They even BBQed bacon (1 ft long 4 in. wide and 1/8 in. thick). Having been shopping here I think it most of cost over 100 Euros. They own a home in this village. They stay there every year for the whole month of August and then on weekends.
On our way home Lynette and I decided to ride by ourselves. Instead of 3.5 hours it took 2 hr. 20 min. Much more enjoyable but a long day of 140 kilometers.
Weston and I stayed up and watched the BYU game on the internet. They beat Tulane by a bunch. We had a great time eating and watching the game together.
