    This is a short picture - report of our last trip in September 2011.
    ( I was not shure were to post , is it better in the day trip section or here in the Ride Report section???. It is my first RR.)

    we had only 14 days off and we decided to visit the pyrenees in France, Spain and Andorra.
    A few days without bike in barcelona and a short visit at the costa brava, but later more, if you want.
