Day one - the day in figures

Due to fatigue and sore ass, this post will have to be short. We have safely arrived in a sleepy Spanish town called Chinchon. The day was badly executed - lack of food, drink, pampers and road sense - but many a valuable lessons were learnt, albeit the hard way. Will lay a new blog as soon as we can, but for now its bed time. Beunos notches

Hours in saddle - 6.5
Kilometres of tarmac consumed - 80km
Max speed - 45.6 kph
Blazzing saddles - 36 degrees (felt like 50)
Arse ache factor - 7.5
Nappy rash factor - Jose will be dousing my buttocks with Johnson baby lotion before bed tonight for sure
High point - cycling through miles and miles of olive trees
Low point - burning down a six-lane motorway of death
Lesson of the day - if you want to see Spain, book and all inclusive with teletext - 7 nts, 299
