So far, so good!
Posted from Castellón de la Plana, Valencian Community, Spain.
Last night I was really worried about my knee, I hardly could enjoy watching the CL football match. I cooled the knee the whole evening with ice cubes, but the pain didn´t go away and it still hurt this morning. At the breakfast I was really down, I thought I had to cancel the tour already on the morning of the third day! I cooled the knee with ice again and finally gave it a try and started to Valencia, which was 20 km away. Luckily, it went well and in the first pharmacy I bought some medicine. 10 minutes later all the pain was gone (fortunately I don´t have to undergo any doping controls). You can imagine what relief I felt.
I was really happy because I could solve in the first two days two unforeseen, but really mission critical issues: the deficient navigation system and my knee pain. With this great feeling I really enjoyed the day and everything went easy. The route went through endless orange plantations in parallel to the highway A7. The profile was totally flat, the bridges over the highway were probably the highest elevations. And in some parts I had even tailwind!
I am now in Castellon and was looking forward to have a pleasant and relaxed CL football evening, but Messi spoiled it completely. So only an almost perfect day!
Todays route: 104,33 km
La provincia de Castellón de la Plana, es la provincia española con más montañas , ten cuidado dónde te metes que la rodilla no está para subir cuestas…
Ánimo y suerte.

Ich hoffe dein Knie haelt. Bin begeistert wie weit du schon bist. Alles gute und weiter so Michael. Es ist nicht mehr so weit (lachen) .
Hey Michael,
Great blog, great trip!
However, it sounds like tough work!? Is there not a plan B, with some beach days in between?
Be really careful: Painkillers help for the moment, but you might cause damage to your knees!
And: There are still planes to Brasil! (plan C)
Good luck, un abrazo, also from Isabelle,
Jorg

Hi Micha, denk dran, in Castellón gibts einen nagelneuen Flughafen, vielleicht auch Flüge nach Havanna. 🙂 Spaß beiseite, ich hoffe, dass dein Knie morgen wieder fit ist!
