L2L Day 33 - Melide to Santiago de Compostela

 Arrived in Santiago.  There was heavy rain at the beginning of our day and we (I) was worried that we'd have a long day ahead.  But it cleared up well and we had a pretty enjoyable ride into Santiago.  

About 10 miles outside Santiago, there must have been some sort of motocross route for dirt bikes.  We encountered many of them for at least 5 miles as they sort of weaved into and out of the forested areas.  

When we arrived in town, I stopped and bought a new chain for my bike.  Sorry folks, I had it installed at the shop, so no pics or videos of me doing the work on my bike.  It was a good thing, because there was no good space to work on the bikes near our hotel and also, we had to check them at a local post office for storage during the next few days.

We are running low on days as I've got our bikes scheduled to be boxed up for the plane ride on Oct 25 and I fly out next day.  So we are thinking about taking a train to Porto this coming Thursday.   But for tomorrow, we sleep in ;)

Cheers!  ~Cam and Alex
