We had a great time! Besides the excellent ride, it was a day of maintenance and repair. Alex got his first flat in his awesome Schwalbe Mondial tires. And, when we got to Melide, we found a bike shop to purchase new brake pads for Alex. The hills are just grinding our pads away and his were actually scraping on the metal retainer spring. Anyhow, he is a capable mechanic with the help of Park Tools videos on youtube!
There are a couple of bonus pictures below with Alex replacing his brake pads after our ride. There is also a couple of older ladies hitching a ride in the scoop of a tractor - NBD!
Tomorrow we ride into Santiago de Compostela, where we will take a day off and maybe attend a mass at the Cathedral on advice by both my big bro, Mark and Maureen!
Cheers! ~Cam and Alex
