S2 : Day 13 - Speeding back to Barca


Our last group pic ... :(

After 800miles and 42000 ft of climbing the bicycling journey was over 😔 and we had well oiled and orchestrated timelines to hit! We had to drive back to Barca, 750 miles back to make sure Shruti got her midnight plane to Bangalore. At the end of Day 12 we left Tarifa and drove back to Malaga to give us a bit of a head start on the journey home. I used google timeline, which keeps track of your phones positioning. You can see that there are two dots near the center of the country, that is the way we circled back to Barcelona.

We got to Barca in one piece stopping a bit along the way for food, gas and more food. I cant turn down Spanish Burger King :)

Unfortunately we underestimated the ultra advanced radar system they have in Spain and with no exaggeration I think we got 6 speeding tickets!! =/ they all hit us a few weeks later. Eric's nickname is now "lead foot Z" 

That night we were pretty tired, had some Thai food[ i know - we are in Spain ... wtf ] and then packed Shruti's box and got her on her plane. 

It was sad.





Eric's poor bike from Espana - feel bad we left it

I almost got a pic of Shruti sleeping :) damn!!

bfast - spanish style. Has to have jamon

these were delicious!



view from the car ... speeding car
el flato slumbers

this pic of Shruti makes it all worthwhile... it is like a primal scream :)

what i have learned is do not fall asleep first

sorry Shilps :P

fixing and even packing bikes until the very end ... #heaven

stay tuned ... one more day to go ... Steve's tour de Barcelona :)
