Snow, Mud & Unexpected Kindness (Montsec Bikepacking Loop) 

Cycling the world - Europe: 146 episode
This is seventh episode of the Montsec Bikepacking Loop in Catalonia, where unexpected kindness and nature's challenges blend into an unforgettable journey. The night before, in the quaint hamlet of Castellnou de Montsec, home to just one permanent resident, I encountered two brothers with a passion for cycling. Their offer of hot tea blossomed into dinner and a warm invitation to sleep indoors, a gesture of hospitality that extended our conversations well past breakfast as snow began to fall outside. Setting out later than anticipated, I faced the first hour of travel under a snowfall that soon gave way to clearing skies. The day's journey involved a strenuous climb amidst cold wind and fog, followed by a lengthy descent to a water reservoir. The path challenged me with frequent mud traps, leading to an arrival at the shore by sunset, far later than expected. With darkness encroaching and no viable camping spots due to wet and muddy fields, I pressed on to a village where I finally found refuge for the night.
