(Hello from USA, Florida) .... What tires are you using?

[@IslandRides]

Hi Ron, they're Schwalbe Delta Cruisers (Plus).

There is so much great transit around Montserrat: a train right to the monastery from Barcelona, a cable car from the base of the hill to the monastery, several funiculars to get you around the mountain from the monastery.
But cycling there is car hell any way you slice it, even if bikers do it anyway.
It’s shameful, actually, how hard it is to ride from Barcelona to Montserrat without risking your neck on sketchy, busy roads with no shoulders.

[@IslandRides]

Yeah, it's a shame the route's not more bike friendly. A couple of times I've done the hike from the town to the monastery, which is probably my preferred way of getting there.

@@IslandRides Yes, the Montserrat hiking trails are lovely.
