Today's report is via email from Paul...
The pedaling pair have had a very hard days with a lot of climbing that wasn't too steep but relentlessly going on. It has also been extremely hot which made the days riding even more difficult.
They have taken lots of stops for rests and refreshments but they have achieved the target of Palas de Rei, arriving at 3:45pm.
Whilst the aim is to arrive in Santiago on Friday they will make a decision tomorrow morning if to press on or just take an extra day, arriving on Saturday lunchtime.
Ben called and added that they had found somewhere to stay for 25E and had another excellent Pilgrim meal for 8E each (free wine as usual!).
We will hopefully have some more pictures overnight and i will try and upload to the blog on Friday morning.
A short report tonight but our pedaling pair are near the end. This is always the hardest part of any ride over a distance as your body is starting to shut down and relax and more effort is needed to keep going those last few miles. Keep going lads you WILL make it!
