Yes, Girona has a couple of cycle cafes and a bunch of cycle shops. But as a German endurance fan you have to make a stop at Jan Frodeno\u2019s \u201cLa Comuna\u201d. A restaurant\/bar that he opened a couple of years ago in Girona.
For those who have no idea about Jan Frodeno\u2026he is a multiple Triathlon World Champion from Germany, multiple World Record holder and just an unbelievable endurance machine. 38 years old and a legend in the scene..
My tour started yesterday from that cafe, but when I was there, around 10.30 am, nothing special happened. I was biking for about 2.30h and during that time my partner was hanging out at the place. And guess, who stopped by. Frodeno himself, with his family. Many people for sure knew him, so my partner got introduced to him as well. Unfortunately he couldn\u2019t take photos as he was getting ready for his day training\u2026going from Girona back home to Andorra by bike\u2026a bit over 200 hilly km! And when I came back all the show was gone;). But a nice place to hang out anyhow with some good vibes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
