Brad Huff Cycling

So my last week in Spain is upon me and it seems as if I just got here. Well actually I am pretty cracked and looking forward to heading back to the US or A! Girona is very unique in that it has everything that a cyclist needs, flats, steep hills, long climbs, tons of country roads, and several high level Professional riders around the city. Good food, great markets, cheap espresso, and all encompassed within walking distance. There is virtually no need for a car…which is very nice considering the price of petro over here. What am I going to miss???? Espresso, simple lifestyle, low stress, walking…yes I said walking because in the states our cities just do not really allow one to walk to various places within the city, mullets, and the terrain. What am I NOT going to miss??? The damn bell tower that is 100 meters from our apartment that rings every hour and every 15mins no matter what time of day it is, the down stairs neighbors morning “exercises”, mullets, the cobble climb to our apartment, and the 150 steps up to our apartment.
Hopefully in this last week I will be able to finally allow my fitness to overcompensate for all of the over-reaching I have been doing since I got here? Who knows? Most likely I will suffer like always and someone will take me out in the last kilometer of the race, but I still have faith that positive things will come! I have yet to go and ask my neighbors down the block for some sugar….Ryder H. Pat Mc. Floyd L. Tyler H. Freddie R. George H. Micheal B. or Levi L. But super former pro Katrina G. has WAY TOO much sugar to give….I think Kevin G. needs to keep her in check!
