As advertised, we made today a big day - 92 miles, which makes up for one of the extra days we waited out the storm in Burgos.
This morning Alex helped a lady from Pennsylvania set up her phone so she'd be connected for the rest of the trip. I guess she'd purchased a sim card that had expired and didn't realize it had an expiration date.
Today, we noticed that much of the Camino trail now has trees lined along the path. Currently, maybe it's not something that you'd think much of other than the esthetic. But, practically, for any of the pilgrims walking the Camino during the dry hotter months, these trees have to be much appreciated for shade they provide! We rode through Leon and took a couple of pics near the Cathedral.
92 miles is a long way on bicycle. But it felt pretty good - we both felt strong the whole way.
We've changed our route once again. We've decided to ride to Santiago de Compostela. It will mean more climbing and a bit more mileage, but hey.. that's what we are here for! Tomorrow will be about a 50 mile ride and something like 3000 ft elevation.
