Harold, Picos 2024
The Picos Tour was excellent, and ridden on scenic back roads amidst a stunning mountain landscape. There were climbs aplenty. No one went home unsatisfied with the route selection.
The two iconic climbs, the Angrilu and the Covadonga, were well worth the effort expended, both requiring mental and physical stamina. As for the crew, Helen and Ian and Ray were knowledgeable, helpful, cheery, flexible, and accommodating.
My fellow riders were friendly and good humoured, patient, and considerate. All ingredients for a successful Tour. The hotels were comfortable and the food was satisfying and filling. I will always remember that last meal in Tina de Pechon – tasty and filling; and, the roast beef sizzling on the ceramic plate coupled with the fresh baked bread were both mouth watering and a feast for the eye. The bean soup appetizer was tasty, too. Delicious.
A most enjoyable Tour but certainly one that requires a high level of fitness, and youth.
Best regards,
Harold
