usually at this point we would be cruising down the coast and i would be saying good morning to
another beautiful morning in spain preceded by the plan how much riding we've got to do today
and how many climbs there are unfortunately that's not the case today because jimmy
is not very well yesterday afternoon he was saying his stomach wasn't feeling very good and then it
was evident that his stomach wasn't doing very good because he spent the next few hours well
you know we reckon he must have eaten something funny so today we're spending another day in
this weird town which may or may not be haunted because it's been built on top of some sort of
chemical plant in any case he needs a little bit more rest he is feeling better this morning but an
extra day of doing nothing should mean we can hit the road and finish the ride to barcelona tomorrow
i can't tell if i'm getting weird looks because i'm wearing shorts and t-shirt
in the middle of winter or am i getting weird looks because i'm talking to a camera
it's 20 degrees there's someone actually swimming over there surely that's just as weird
there are definitely worse places to spend an extra rest
so it's about lunchtime now been by the pool had a swim which was a stupid idea because
it was freezing cold it was so cold that it hurt i've left jimmy with some supplies coconut water
apples salt and vinegar crisps apparently those things should make him feel better i thought i'd
come out and spin the legs so i haven't had two full days off if we do decide to ride on
tomorrow this town is completely surrounded by rice fields or rice paddies i guess you'd call
them and i didn't know this but some lovely people were telling us over lunch yesterday
it's one of spain's biggest exports as well so that'll be why bit of an unusual landscape
that we haven't come across yet anyway safe to say based on how my legs feel right now i am not quite
yet recovered so maybe the second day off was a good thing if jimmy does make a recovery i think
we've got two options in terms of riding one the original plan was to kind of go up there which is
big mountains probably not the best idea he's feeling a bit iffy the other option is still a
fair bit of climbing considering it's along the coast but basically flat to tarragona talagona
with slightly better pronunciation which is a bit more sensible because it won't be
like 2 000 meters of climbing on really slow roads it does look amazing up there though
assuming what jimmy has is food poisoning it's just dawned on me the only thing that
we've had different to eat is the massive packet of donuts from yesterday's episode
i don't feel like doughnuts are that like poisonous though even if they were made badly
maybe that's what happens if you eat 12 doughnuts all in a row literally donut poisoning world first
interesting that at 3 p.m people are just starting their lunch i guess that's why all the restaurants
open at eight not that compatible with bike packing and needing to be up early but the
world isn't made for bike packing i hope jimmy's gonna be well enough for dinner well hungry
this might be tempting fate but i bought a curry for dinner takeaway
from a restaurant that did look quite sketch on the outside but it tastes nice i may end
up in the same state as jimmy in the next few hours kind of worth it though is it worth it
i don't think it is so time to give you guys an update on the plan jimmy is definitely not well
enough to ride bikes he probably is going to be well enough to get into a taxi tomorrow and we're
going to taxi it to barcelona seeing how unwell he has been i don't want to leave him on his own so
we're going to pack up all the stuff pack up the bikes as if we're going to be riding chuck them in
a taxi get to barcelona there is some rides and stuff going on there so we can have an explore
if he's feeling better might do a ride on my own we'll see what happens but at the end of the day
there is more to life than riding bikes jimmy will live to fight another day and maybe that means we
have to come back here and finish the route one day so this video more of an update video to say
there isn't a proper video today but if i hadn't have made it loads of people would be asking
what's happened to us so here we are that's the plan more fun stuff to come when we hit barcelona
i'm sure we are now going to watch scarface and go to sleep and in the morning you'll be 100 better
please remember to like comment subscribe i'll see you guys tomorrow hey jimmy jimmy draw a doughnut
