The second-to-last chapter of a long line drawn across the map.

Packing the tent (almost for the last time), rolling onto the road, straight into a climb—because of course we did.
We learned (again) that heading toward the sea does not mean downhill. Myths were shattered. Legs were tested.

Somewhere along the way, the trail quietly disappeared.
Singletrack turned into thorns, plans turned into pushing, and the map politely pretended it had nothing to do with this.
We turned back, laughed it off, chose the smarter route—eventually discovering that yes, the gate really was locked.

Ant fights were witnessed. Underdogs were supported.
Red Bull wings were hoped for. A stranger’s “Bravo!” from a car window came surprisingly close.

We rode past vast reservoirs, chased the horizon, and climbed our way into Medina Sidonia.
The “last supper” wasn’t legendary—but the cava from a gas station absolutely was.

Day 31 was about almosts.
Almost done. Almost there.
Still climbing. Still learning. Still very much on an adventure.

One more day to finish the line.
