June 10 - Day 7 of our Camino - Leon to Ponferrada


                                                                                               Hospital de Orbigo


The long bridge at Hospital de Orbigo





One of the many pilgrim statues along the way.




The Gaudi designed Episcopal Church in Astorga




Barren but beautiful hilltops


Dan stopped to take this video of one of the easier descents on a long day!




Try this link to see some technical details of our ride. When you see the average speed details remember that we were touring, stopping, re-assembling, and in no hurry. The more telling stats are the calories burned, elevation gained etc. Some of the profile does not show the severity due to scale!

Go to elevation graph on right side, make sure it's open, click on the diagonal arrow in upper right corner, make sure the horizontal axis is showing distance in kms! You may then get the best idea of both the climb and the descent challenges for this day's ride. If this worked for you, please go through the same process for the next day's ride up to O'Cebreiro...it was a nasty!
