Just picturing the León-Burgos route along the A-231 and N-120 gets me excited. Choosing roads to chase a total eclipse — that's touring at its best, always wondering where to ride next. Those viewpoints around Zaragoza have my attention too.

Building a whole trip around a total eclipse is a fresh idea, want to try this next time.

Kind of feel like a partial eclipse back home would've been enough without the trip to Spain.

Sixteen years of cloud data or not, you genuinely can't call the weather on the day.

Getting fined for roadside parking defeats the whole trip, don't cheap out on a lot.

Yeah, better to grab a spot at dawn than eat a 200-euro fine later.

Around Zaragoza, locking a west-facing viewpoint is the real key for the eclipse.

Forget ISO 12312-2 glasses and it's no joke — that's your actual eyesight at stake.
