Day 9: Logrono – Burgos
Time: 7:22:41
Distance: 123.8km
Average Speed: 16.8km/h
We had a big night in the town in Logrono last night but still managed to get on the road by around 10. The first stop was Navarrete where we ate very poor croissants and met an Irish lad living in Vitoria Gasteiz walking a few days of the Camino. The rest of the day was almost all uphill. The inclines weren't massive but it was enough to slow us down. A few kilometers outside of Burgos we were running out of daylight but luckily there was a gravel bike path all the way into the city which made things safer. At one point I saw a massive pothole up ahead which looked like it could break a spoke. I jammed on the breaks without saying anything. Leeroy couldn't stop in time so my back light got smashed. Other than that there was no other damage so we got off lightly. We'll stay in the pilgrim hostel in Burgos tonight with a 10pm curfew, which might not be a bad thing.
