TRAPPED in Mud (Montsec Bikepacking Loop) 

Cycling the world - Europe: 145 episode
In this sixth episode of the Montsec Bikepacking Loop in Catalonia, experience the trials and triumphs of a bikepacker's journey through the unexpected. After enduring a freezing night under the shelter of an empty farmhouse's roof, my sleep was frequently interrupted by a curious wild boar. With the break of dawn, the sun brought a slight reprieve from the cold, but the real challenge lay ahead. The trail, transformed into a mud trap by the heavy rains, forced me to push my bike through the muck, unable to pedal as the mud ensnared my drive train and tires. The ordeal of pushing my bike uphill, battling for grip with every step, turned into an exhausting nightmare. Covering less than a kilometre took hours, leading me to opt for a paved road detour to a nearby village. There, I took a much-needed rest, savoured my lunch, and cleaned my bike, preparing for the upcoming ascent. Reaching the summit just in time for sunset, I found solace and companionship in a small hamlet, where I spent the evening engaged in warm conversations, enjoying hot tea, and sharing dinner with the locals. Join me on this segment of the Montsec Bikepacking Loop for a tale of perseverance, unexpected challenges, and the simple joys of camaraderie on the road.
