Well I turned up at the Pedreguer Shell station at 0945 and found that I was “Nobby No Mates” as no one else wanted to come out to play.
I went to the Javea Matinal and met up with a few other non BOPA friends there. There were about 400 bikes which is down on previous years but I suspect that this was due to the other 2 competing Matinals today. The ride started on time at 11.30 and went up through part of the Old Town and up to the Cabo San Antonio lighthouse and then stopped at a bar on the lighthouse road for a midway break and a beer. We then returned to Javea and road around all of the Old Town and then down along the inner coast road to Cabo Blanco, along the seafront through the Arenal and then into the port and then round to the trawler roundabout and back to the start.
I stopped and listened to some of the music there and headed home when I saw the clouds getting darker inland. It was a good day, not too hot and a nice ride and I got home without getting wet.
