Spain to the UK 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇬🇧

During the summer I had a bit of time off between jobs and decided to take a little adventure on my bike.

I travelled to Girona, Spain, and rode back to the UK, a trip of 1,300km.

Whilst mostly on road, there were a good few gravel sections to enjoy, including out of Girona toward the Pyrenees and in various places across France.

I initially planned to bivy most the way but the weather ended up being a bit colder and wetter than expected.

Having come from a racing background it took me a couple of days to settle into the idea that you don't have to ride for hours on end every day and you can stop and enjoy the trip!

The route was put together by a friend, albeit I rode it in reverse. They had ridden to Girona and then took part in the Traka!

Beautiful roads, lovely views and amazing food.

I made a video of the trip if you're interested and this also has a link to the route files: https://youtu.be/256yIQ76Q9U?si=gGKQNflLUgKHf2T4

Happy to help with any route questions if it looks of interest!
