The hotel allowed me to unlock and leave my key on the desk. Early morning coffee at the local bar, not sure if this lot are, late nighters or early morningers.


Aftery ride out of town the morning went sort of like this-







Every pedal stroke, every foot fall worth it the see the magical beauty. 🙂
Im very weary of my shoe, any repairs done rendered useless in seconds on the first climb. I stood on the pedals all the way up a long concrete climb, it’s getting tough.
I’m getting to areas and towns i know. So many of the roads and tracks are familiar, i was fooled a few times thinking i was about to descend but inevitably going up.
On today’s route warnings it says, Includes a very steep up hill segment. I usually ignore this as there are so many steep up hill segments.
The section in question is the track between Timar and Juviles. The little slot to start this section is nearly impossible to find. I sensibly changed to my sandals.







I constantle reminded myself small sure-footed steps Mark. One trip and you are toast, if i started tumbling there really would be no way back.
The 2km section took an hour to complete.



Dang! I guess the warning sign was correct. What an adventure.
