Bilbao-Bilbao

Bilbao-Bilbao is a huge bike tour that I just happened to see advertised in the back of a spanish bike magazine that I was reading and coincided with out trip to San Sebastian. The add claimed 6000 people would participate in this 116 km tour around the basque country. So my dad and I figured that even if we weren't able to finish we could get some cool phootos (which we didn't) and some cool free t-shirts (of course they only had xl left) and some cool stories (which we did!) so we decided to go for it. The day was unfortunatly overcast and freezing cold, but the ride was great. There really were 6000 participants and the course was not nearly as daunting as the profile made it seem and the speed was less than anticipated so all in all a really cool and fun day in the saddle.
