Biketrip in Northern Spain 2022
In September 2022 we were a small group of enthusiastic road bike riders who did a trip in Northern Spain. We covered a total of 827 km and 15,800 meters of ascending, which was split into 8 stages. A great guy and friend of us drove a van as our support vehicle and we stayed in hotels during the nights where those accommodations had been planned in advance (one stop-over was private accommodation, friends to one in the group). Every third day was a rest day. With start in Vegadeo and finishing in Unquera, we were mainly in the Asturias community, but also went into León to the south and Cantabria to the east.
