Andalucía day 11 and 12 (Thursday and Friday): In the morning I went to a bike store to get the gear cable fixed. Afterwards I was unsure what to do. I still had one and a half day left. Enough time to go into the mountains again. But I was just not motivated to make my way out of the city again. To climb all the hills. After a while I decided that it is fine to be lazy and went to the beach to just relax. The weather was like one oft the best northern German summer days so that spending some time there actually felt very relaxing 😄 On Friday in the late afternoon I put my bike back into the bike bag and went to the airport to fly back home in the early morning of the following day. A nice tour is at its end. It did not go to plan and I cycled much less than expected but I had a good time anyway. Spain is beautiful, I will be back for sure 😊 #swimmingincyclingshorts #whereismymotivation #nocycling #nobikepacking #beachtime #sunshine #feelslikesummer #beachday #beach #malaga #laziness

Andalucía day 10: I crawled out of my tent at dawn and replaced my rear breakpads that were very thin after having toured through England, Wales, Scotland and Germany. Easy repair. With trust in my brakes I rode on in direction of Antequera. What was awaiting me was an amzazing gravel road with the best views. Nicely rideable, not too steep. But that changed after a while. Hills became insanely steep and I had to push the bike a lot. I got a bit annoyed. Normally I don't mind pushing if I can also ride from time to time. But that was not that much the case. In the afternoon on one climb that was at least partly rideable I suddenly realized something sharp sticking out of the hood of the shifter. It turned out that it was a part of my gear cable. Shifting still worked but the cable was obviously in a very bad state. To exchange the cable I needed a cable cutter that I did not have with me and since I was not sure if I would be able to get the cable out of the stifter by myself I decided to go the the closest bike store on a route that requieres the least amount of shifting. I really did not want to end up in the hills without gears because I was already having enough of pushing. That is why I decided to head directly to Málaga to get some help in a bike store. Even though I was worried every time I shifted it was a nice ride because the sunset looked extremely beautiful. It was in a very dark orange covering the hills in the distance. It did not eaven look real. Hence it was difficult to concentrate on the road and not just on the sunset next to me. Finally back in Málaga I checked into a hotel. #graveldiaries #gravelroads #gravelbikes #bikepacking #bikewander #bikepackingspain #andalucia #sierradelasnieves #gravellife #biketravel #biketraveller #outsideisfree #ridewithaview #ninerbikes #sunset #brokengearcable #adventuregirl #adventurebybike #adventurecycling #adventurecycle #bikepackinglife

Andalucía day 9 (Tuesday): The new crank arrived and I am back on my bike. I did not make it far that day but I found a nice place to camp, hidden in a small forrest. Finally sleeping outside again :) Gracias a @bicicletas.jesusrosado #backontheroad #bikepackingspain #bikepacking #adventuretime #adventuregirl #puertodelviento #ronda #cyclinglife #outsideisfree #biketravel #biketraveller
