✨Hello everyone welcome to my video,
It took me 3 days to cycle the 200km from Burgos to León through the Meseta in Spain. An area known for the long straight stretches when you’re cycling as wel as hiking! 😉
I also found out that cycling with a gpx-track can sometimes be harder then you think and that it doesn’t mean that you won’t do some extra kilometers! 🥺
00:00
00:17 Day 33: Burgos – Frómista 82km
06:15 Day 34: Frómista – Sahagún 89km (really?)
12:05 Day 35: Sahagún – León 56km
I hope you guys will love this video

Kaatje missed a turn! I just figured out I did 15 kilometers in the wrong direction. I can
cry! Everything’s always good for something! We are Poefi and Kaat and we are from Steps by Kaatje, or should we say Wheels by Kaatje, because we are still on our way to Santiago de Compostella on a bicycle. As you can see behind me, I’m still in Burgos. It’s a little bit wet this morning, it was wet last night, so it was wet Burgos… But well, we’ll just hop on
the bike and continue and see how far we get today. Doesn’t that sound like a good plan, Poefi? Oh yeah, perfect! All right, let’s go! I found this nice spot to
have lunch. I did 42 km which, I think, is pretty good because I already had to climb three little hills. Little? Well, big ones! One, two, three… And so, the rest looks a lot flatter. Doesn’t it? So I hope that’ll be faster! When you’re on your bike, you really start thinking a lot. I realize that every night, when I arrive in the hostel or the albergue, I really feel tired and always I say: I’m not going to do as much tomorrow! But then, after a night of rest, you just get up and start cycling again. You just keep going! Some days, it goes really good
and some days, like today, it doesn’t go that good… But you continue to go… so yeah… Now, I need some lunch, I need some energy, right Poefi? Yeah, you do! For once, I’m happy that I’m going against the wind, because that means those clouds over there are not coming my way! Now Poefi, are you going to tell them
or will I? I will! Kaatje missed a turn! I missed a turn? You didn’t tell me there was a turn! Yeah, but I didn’t see it! You are my co-pilot! You’re supposed to tell me when I have to turn, right? I know, but when I told you, you didn’t want to go back 2 km down the hill. No, I sure didn’t! So you asked Google, Uncle Google, to find you a nice route to the end point. Yes, I did. Now, we’re maybe even faster, so you shouldn’t be mad! That’s true. I think we’re doing okay and the alternative route isn’t too bad, so yeah, we’ll be fine. Only 14 km left to go and I’m having a Coke. Cheers! Poefi and I, we made it to Fromista. We did 82 km. Yeah, and we got it because of Uncle Google. Yes, we did, but I think he made us do some extra kilometers. Yeah, might be. I’m staying here at this nice albergue. It’s owned by a lady who has two apartments here in a building. She’s open only in winter time because then, all the other albergues are closed. I’m staying in a room with just three people and we have a private bathroom. I think I’m going to have a good night because I’m going to need it after a long day on my bike. Yeah, me too! Yeah, I can imagine. It was another epic day! I’ll see you guys in the morning, all right? All right, good night. Good night! Good morning! Another day on my bike. Today, we’ll see how far I can go. I need to do 125 km before Leon and I want to arrive there tomorrow, so I think I’ll be fine. I didn’t sleep too well. I woke up around 4:00 and I couldn’t get back to sleep because I was thinking: I need rest, I can’t do this anymore… I don’t know… oh well, but then I started reading, I read a little bit and then I fell back asleep. That was nice. Otherwise, it was a
perfect stay. I had good company. It was nice meeting all those people here. I’m looking forward to the next place and meeting other people. That’s fine, but all right, without
further delay, just let’s start cycling. Come on! I have some really bad news! I just
figured out that I did 15 km in the wrong direction! You know, I
missed this part yesterday, so I didn’t notice that I was doing it in the
wrong way! So now, I have to turn back, back to Fromista! Really, what a pain! I can cry, I really can. All right, but nothing I can do… I made it back to Fromista, where
I started this morning. I lost about 2 hours and 20 minutes, 30 km and quite a bit of energy! So poefi, you really are not good as a co-pilot. I’m sorry, but I wanted to see the part of the trail we missed yesterday. Oh yeah? Yeah… Do you know how I found out that I was going the wrong way? We passed the Camino and all the hikers were going the other way! So that’s when I started looking at my GPS and realized I was going the wrong way! Pretty bad! Yeah, pretty bad. Now we have to go the right direction. Yeah! Are you going to be on the lookout? Yeah, I’ll tell you when you have to turn. Okay, I hope so! Well, let’s have a little snack and then we’ll just hit the road again. Ah we are already recording? It’s a pleasure to be with Kaat. We left Flores, no Fromista. We are already tired we have walked maybe 12 km and now we met her again. She took the wrong path earlier. It’s a good thing that she found us. This is the advantage of missing the trail first: you get to meet your roommates
again! So yeah, everything is always good for something. Yeah, right. Very
good example! Goodbye, Buen Camino 2,000 kilometers done, yes!! We made it to Sahagún. We did
about 90 km instead of 60, which is way too much. The last 15 km were in the rain… but I’m here! I booked myself room. I thought that I deserved that after a day like this! I have a private bathroom. I have a nice bed – I hope so anyway – and I’ll see you guys in the morning. I don’t
think I’m going to go out very far tonight. Not in the rain and not after a day like this. Let’s relax, sounds good doesn’t it? So good night. Good morning! Poefi and I are ready to go. We want to go to León. That should be around 67 kilometers or something. It will not be too bad, because it doesn’t go up and down too much. I think I’ll survive! What do you think, Poefi? Oh yeah, you will! Yeah, you will too. But I think I’ll have to put you in a bag because it’s raining. Oh no, I don’t like to be in the bag. I know, but when it rains you go into the bag. Oh… It was raining last night as well but I did go out for dinner. I had a really good
night as well. I woke up from my alarm and not from being awake at 6:00 in the morning, so that was pretty good. Oh yeah, that was pretty good. At least, I could sleep a little bit longer. Yeah, I know, I know! All right, let’s start cycling. Poefi and I, we arrived here at Leon. I’m
sitting here, next to Gaudi. We’re looking at the building he designed. I will be looking around here a little bit more, because there is a beautiful cathedral and there’s a lot to see. That’s what I will be doing because I arrived here before 3:00. That was really nice. Now, at least, I have some time to enjoy the city a little bit. Right, Poefi? Yeah. What can I tell you about today? The last few days in fact, I was in the Meseta, which is known for being kind of flat and long and always straight. I saw that on the Camino as well. Often, the Camino is just next to
the road and it’s just straight forward walking, walking and walking for kilometers and kilometers and kilometers! I was glad I was on my bike and I already found it a little bit boring at times. Well, all right, I’m here at Leon and I’m going to finish this video. Thank you guys for being with me on those last three days, even with all the turns I should not have taken! We made it. We’re still on our bike. We’re still going and yeah, I’m looking forward to the rest, I should say… but the weather is changing and the hills are coming so… we’ll see… This is it. I’ll see you guys on the next one. Bye-bye! Oh yes, and when you’re at it, you can always consider subscribing. Although, I know most people who are still watching now are subscribed.

I'll save American viewers a google: 15 kilometers = 9.321 miles. 😢😫
Such beautiful footage. I feel so bad that you lost that mileage. Do better, Poefi! 🗺 You deserved that nice room. 👍
Again a great tour through spain from you even with some extra kilometers! 👍👍But from mistakes we learn and it makes us stronger! All the best! 😊😊🐷
I think Poefi should be fired. Lol. Extra 30km yikes. I like the name of the last town. 😁😉
Hi Kaatje, hi Puffy! I do enjoy your channel, thank you for sharing your adventures, you have anew subscriber from France. 🇫🇷
Je kamergenoten hadden gelijk; 'het is altijd ergens goed voor', maar op het moment dat je erachter komt dat je niet de goede kant op bent gegaan, is het wel balen.🐺🌸🐶👍🏻
Great job. Beautiful places
200km by cycling its pretty impresive for me 🙂 i wish you only sunny days^^
Great job keeping up your spirits even when it was super tough! Lots of pretty scenery, and wow, the one day the hills looked daunting for sure! I can see some sections are great for biking, but I wonder if you'd like to be walking in some of them… it seems a bit more fast paced on the bike. Poufee is keeping you good company!! 🙂 👍👍
Really enjoyed watching your lovely video. Really hope you are well and having a great Wednesday. Many thanks from Chris and Jane 🎉💕🎉
Hi Kaatje! Nice to see that you are still loving the biking! We are so far behind on our watching/commenting – Loved the lunch spot!!
The long straight stretches , riding against the wind and a little wrong turn ; all seemed to add up to another amazing adventure on two wheels for you two.
Poefi seems to be a perfect travelling companion! (No complaining.)👍👍
15 km in wrong direction, that hurts. Nice going. Have a great day, and take care.
Unfortunately you missed a turn, but it's part of the twists and turns of the journey. As they say, tomorrow is another day. But I can see that you still have the vibes and tenacity, and that's important to reach the end of your journey.!
You kept going Kaat despite being worn out and wrong turnings. I gotta say you have a great sense of humor – could really cry! Good on you for getting back on the saddle. And hey you met your mates again. Spot on! Well, good to enjoy the city at the end there. I always like to chill. That was a good one. All the best. Mark
Wow, what an incredible journey you've embarked on! Your perseverance is truly inspiring.
Oh wow – that's a big detour! I would definitely have cried! Glad you were able to keep a positive attitude and kept going – despite the weather and your co-pilot who wasn't great at keeping track of the route 🤣
+1✅👍👍 welcome home
Hi Kaat!! Full support for these 3 days full 200 km from Burgos to León through Meseta. It's nice that you had a nice ride here through beautiful landscapes, although part of the track looks difficult. Say hello to Kim and Marcel, Mike as well as a lovely Spanish couple on the same trip. Sincere congratulations for 2000 km! Wow! Bravo!! 🤗 Greetings from us.😄😄
Another great adventure Kaat! Poefi seems like he's getting a bit dirty after all that traveling 😂. He's gonna need a bath soon. How much are all of these hostels per night? Ah I love Spain. You can tell the difference between Spanish and French architecture. You passed a lot of beautiful scenery on the way. 😂 Poefi needs to be docked a paycheck for messing up the route 😂. That's a big miss. Given I've done that before on taking metros before. But, at least that doesn't use as much energy. At least you figured it out before it was way too late. 90km?! You deserve a well earned rest.
Shame about missing the turn but you got to Formista in the end. You met up with your room mates too. What an adventure and what an accomplishment to pass the 2000 km's
Bedankt voor de leuke vlog. Ja wat jammer dat je verkeerd bent gereden maar goed heb wel het land nog 30 km extra gezien. Zie dat het in spanje ook niet altijd mooi weer is .
Oooh, sorry you got turned around a couple times. You are doing great, glad you had some bright spots there to make up for the tough times!
