Jeroen brings the rain with him

This week, Jeroen came out to Portugal for some training rides. This is the two of us just about to set off on the second day, enjoying the first rainy day in over a month!  Conditions were atrocious, but we still loved it and ended up in Ourense in Spain after climbing over 6000 feet and burning 6000 calories over 76 mountainous miles. We were pleased to enjoy massages, tapas and copious quantities of red wine with Eunice and Rowena till late into the night.

We leave for Italy in under 3 weeks! We are very excited now.
