Gomez Farias - a pain in the… July 7
Along the road towards Gomez Farias
So, I only made it as far as Gomez Farias today, a short 30km ride from Zaragosa. This is largely because I’m incredibly sore. Not sore in the legs, as one might expect. Let’s just say, I understand the desire for one of those funky looking split seats you see all the racers with.
I had expected some saddle soreness, and had some the first few days, but had figured it was done with. Little did I know.
Local boys that stopped to check me out while I tried to fix my speedometer. They were embarrased, and so there are two hiding behind the one in the Ninja Turtles t-shirt.
On the bright side, it’s absolutely gorgeous here - a mix of rolling fields, farmland, and scattered pines. The people are friendly, and the traffic is light. Last night, I stayed in a tiny hotel, well, hardly a hotel. More like one of several rooms behind a restaurant. There were chickens scratching in the courtyard, and a woodburning stove in the room.
