Kat & Mat's big bike trip
Day 1 Chilches
Day one! We had a farewell brunch with friends at 11:00 at our favourite cafe, the Ola Fresca, then headed off at 13:00 for a gentle 48km ride through orange groves to Chilches, today's destination.
We've ridden this section a few times, so it was an easy day to get us used to carrying panniers again. Our bikes weigh 16kg each, and we're carrying 13kg of bags each.
It's pretty simple on the flat, but it's really noticeable as soon as we get to even a small hill. Hopefully our legs will be like tree trunks within a week and then there's no stopping us!
Chilches had metal barred gates across many streets ready for a corrida this weekend. Luckily it also had one hostel for us to stay in and a supermarket to buy breakfast.
Love, Kat & Mat x
