well i,m now sat in Spain relaxing after a tough 630miles (over 1000km) of cycling, i knew that the challenge was going to be tough because mother had mentioned that there was a couple of mountain ranges to cross !!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to say a big thanks to Vix and the boys for there understanding, Ductclean (UK) for the supply of the bike and allowing me the time off to take up the challenge, and the promise to double all monies raised ( i,ve only been with them 3 months !) .
All the team at Phoenix gym Okehampton for there help and advise ! flat coke and a pinch of salt !! and hold your core whilst breathing (deeply in many cases of the mountains).
Howells & Sons Formentera Spain who have promised to take the bike back to the uk for free !
All of you for your words of support and donations
and Mum and Roy x

Singing in the rain tunnel
With all the dead snakes on the road I sure didn't know what would be inside this ! 
Alcula del jucar
I wondered what the squiggles on my map represented ! 2.5km from top to bottom then 3.5 km to get out of the canyon it was as hot as you like within the canyon walls climbing out but the views within were stunning ! Basically the Spanish have developed the art of cave dwelling !!!!!

Got to say had a bloody good nights sleep last night, so much that I had trouble dragging myself out of bed at 7.30 !
Had breakfast topped up with fluids then left the hotel only to find a gym next door so raided there drinks machine for energy drinks !
I knew that just south of where I was was a hill climb of 1200 meters as it was marked on my map ! But to be honest I breezed up it ! (sleep is good ) the rest of the day went well with regular stops for water then a food stop at around 3 pm. I had a goal for today so after a sandwich I ploughed on to ibanez getting here around 6 pm with 75 miles done,
The hotel is good But it's called Romero and there's a classy nude on the wall. God knows what tonight is gunna bring !!!!!
