Daily Disasters

1. Can’t remember from yesterday, grrrrrrrrrr
2. This ride was not arduous e ough to cause saddle problems bet I know they are there.

I rolled out of bed so late and slowly put my stuff together.  The proposed ride was short and mainly downhill. Eventually leaving at about 10.30.

Of course the proposed mainly downhill started with an uphill. Then swishing down. This road is high up (around 1000meters) with views across to the southern mountains with the Alpujhara valley in-between. 

I shouldn’t have stopped to take this on a precarious position. But 😲😲.

I stopped at Pampaneira for coffee. Then the downhill really started. Unfortunately a tow truck was hauling a van which caused a tailback of about 20 cars so the last 6 or 7 kms was slow and in traffic.

I rolled into Orgiva camping. I have friends in Orgiva so I will be staying here for a day or 2.
