North to South - heading away from home into the warm weather and away from reality- Going north almost a sense of the end before you even get into France - also even in mid-summer as you get further north the weather gets more unsettled
Yes, riding to Malaga from Bilbao I wanted to head for the heat and fun of the South but I soon realised I should have gone South to North, some days I fought for every bleedin mile. If I was do it again (which I am shortly) I'll definitely do it North to South.
