On my way to Gib.

Waking up way before the alarm that was set for 6.30, which was also too early. Readjust for 7.30 tomorrow.

The campsite was quiet, but the main road it was next to had constant traffic throughout the night.

The route today was a bit convoluted it hugged the coast but I had set Komoot for a gravel route so it gave me about 20% gravel of the 100km route with dome 12% gradients, one of which was a bit too technical so I tactically dismounted.

I stopped at a patisserie so a early ride stop, then had coffee, toast and tomatoes as elevenses. Finally having lunch at about 2 with a couple of rolls with cheese and salami.

Eventually on the last climb I met Stephan a German guy who had ridden from Cologne. He was walking up a hill with his heavy loaded bike, 50kgs he told me. I stopped and walked with him.  Its great to chat a bit.
