A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.
Thurs, 28th July. Maçanet de Cabreny's to Roses: 54km, avg 19.8km/hr, max 58.6km/hr
After three day's of rest and food I decided to press on to Roses. I naturally prefer to take quiet back roads but now I had another additional reason so to do: bike helmets are now compulsory in Spain and I don't have one. I actually think they're dangerous but decide, if I'm stopped by the police to just talk in English and pretend I know nothing.
This is the reservoir just south of Darnius and just west of Boadella. It was a nice ride, I took a few wrong turns, mainly near Roses, trying to avoid the main road and use some cycle paths that weren't that well signed.
If you're intested here is a map of the route.
I just skirted the edge of Peralada, which had far more Mercedes and BMW that would be normal, but there was a festival on with lots of very famous names performing over several nights.
