With a Spanish winner in today’s stage of the Tour, along with a Spaniard in yellow, coupled with the success of our spring classic that happened during the summer, it seemed a fitting time for Romney’s final installment of our spring travel log: Spain.
Assault on Western Europe: Part VI. Escalada Conquistadors
In case you missed it, here are the final kilometers of today’s beautiful stage from Italy into France.

Astarloza’s attack, 2k out on a winding downhill finish, was picture perfect; the essence of why racing bikes is so cool. Enjoy.
We really loved our short time in Spain, as you’ll see from Lisa’s post. Until Spain, in fact, she’d never really cared too much for climbing. She pretty much just did it so she could travel around with me. A few days in Rodellar changed all that. Now she’s moving through the grades and training for our next trip.

Yeah, she definitely has some serious upper body strength...
Not my final installment of our Travel Blog... we still have all the Castles in the Loire Valley!!! I'll write it up soon!
When I was in town I caught Romney doing one arms with a half eaten empanada in the other hand.
