And again we start a new adventure to cross the Pyrenees by motorcycle. Starting point is Castelldefels, some km South of Barcelona. Brent, Theodore, Edward, Scott and Jan are waiting in the hotel to receive the bikes and get ready for next days ride. Highlight of the day are spectacular: first we leave the Mediterranean Cost towards the Abby on the Montserrat mountain, then riding thought the country side to the castle of Cardona. From here we have a great view to the upcoming highlight.
