2023 Eudopean adventure day14 (14 September)

ride day 5 Baiona to Pontevedra (62 kmm) Tough day today. Big climbs including one of 20% and a 4km climb of about 15% - pretty tough cycling. Surprise of the day was the city of Vigo - huge city with massive shipbuilding yards with luxury yachts and ferries and supply ships under construction. Amazing. Got lost getting out of the city and had a postman guide us out! Next adventure was losing e Elizabeth in Arcade when she got stuck in pedestrian traffic and I was so busy following the GPS and watching traffic I didn't realise she wasn't behind me until I'd exited the city. Had to backtrack a few K's and found her with the guided group. Beautiful forest rides made up for the tough parts but we didn't get to the hotel until about 8 as the GPS let us down again in finding the hotel- Google maps to the rescue. Only wanted a beer and small meal tonight as we'd had a beautiful lunch then to bed! Probably our hardest days ride ever.
