Day 52 Deltebre - Benicassim 115 km (pure headwind).

Merciless. The forecast was for a bit of westerly wind, which increased during the day. Reality? Right from the beginning hard headwind, not in gusts, but constant. Constantly from the front, sometimes frontal, sometimes sideways but always strong. In the delta it was hard, no wind protection at all on the open plain where there are only (slightly flooded) fields. The first 14 km I needed already loosely one hour. Who actually had the stupid idea to drive in the middle of the delta? If I had gone to Barcelona today, I would have had to step the 150 km probably hardly and would have been there after 4 hours. But I want to go to Portugal. If I check the weather on the Internet correctly, the idea was to dodge south quite right. In Bilbao it pours allegedly, according to the Internet. How it really looks there, no idea. The Internet also told me that I would have in the morning only wind with 10 - 15 km / h from the west. That was wrong. So it helped nothing. Grit teeth and kick, kick and kick. I changed to the main road, because the shoulder there gave me the opportunity to change into the triathlon position. Since I can better kick hard, unfortunately, I had eaten to much at breakfast and after a short while side stitch. So again speed out and down on the side roads until I had digested a bit. On the way was a large electronics store that I took in my sights, my video camera mount is broken again and my headset rushes (after a washing machine cycle). Only the company has a big name, the store rather small format, and full of boomers who looked around perplexed. The staff hid quite cleverly from the customers. When an older lady asked me something I looked at her perplexed and she had it explained to me again. She showed me her cable and her cell phone. I tried it with my powerbank and picked out a USB-C charging cable, then I gave her and another induction charger. With the video equipment it was nothing in the store, vacuum cleaner I could have taken, but a headset I found and stood at the checkout. There I stood then, as the other boomers were now advised by the cashier, the rest of the staff ran busy through the store (without customer contact). That lasted. 2 Comments: 1) Dear boomers, on facebook you can back up any conspiracy with opinion, but to inform you in advance for a purchase in the electrical store is too much to ask. 2) Dear personnel department of electrical stores, either you hire trained staff, or you train your staff to be specialists, but what there sometimes with your great red shirt wear, not at all. So at some point it went on for me finally, immediately again hard into the wind. Again I tried the federal road and triathlon position and lo and behold it suddenly ran better. I forgot to drive to Peniscola, probably one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Spain. Stupid. I looked for mental distraction, the kicking itself is not so bad only if one must think constantly, it is stupid. Then I remembered that it was Saturday and the right time, so I turned on the Liveticker. What can I say WERDER! BREMEN! There the time passed like in the flight. There were short partial showers and even trucks were blown off the bridge. However, at some point my energy was then gone, so at 100 km, not bad, then I have tomorrow to Valencia at least still substantial distance (which could be done even with headwind). So I looked for accommodation, very cheap was found in 15 km distance. So via a Via Verde (beautiful along the sea) rode well rather fought and now I'm through and in bed. In this sense, good night and Mr. Putin on the photos they no longer look good, what happened? Has someone poisoned them?
