1 Big puncture took 2 plugs one fat, one thin. We’ll see if it holds tonight.

I checked the ride profile last night and there was a red climb for 10kms at the start, even I can work out that’ll be brutal. I started by plummeting down to a river then sharp turn and here we go. 🥵 Oh but the views, I couldn’t help but repeatedly stop and take pictured. The mountain folded in and out at it rose to just under 1000 meters up.

These are before I even got to the climb

Suffice to say it was gravel heaven

Until this

And this

There was walking and pushing

There were circling vultures waiting for me to die.

I was lucky to find a place open. I got the biggest role I’m the world. It was cheese and bacon a life saver.

Disaster struck. 🤞🤞🤞 I think it’s fixed

I got to the campsite that has a mini Poleta court. I thought it was only played in the Basque region. But the campsite has the best laid out pitches. Exactly what I want from a campsite.
