Logroño to Burgos
I thought I'd push myself as I'd had a rest in Pamplona and do the c.120km in one day rather than splitting it by staying in Santo Domingo de la Catzada.
My God what a shit day. Getting out of Logroño was awful. I'd finally got my Wahoo Rflkt working with my Nexus 7 for GPS and the route I'd copied off someone else was basically the motorway out. So I road partly on the A12 motorway and then on dirt tracks trying to find something that wasn't motorway. Luckily it was a Sunday so traffic was light.
Then it was supposedly just one B Road the rest of the way. Unfortunately the fucker kept playing hide and seek and would magically dis-a-fucking-ppear!
90% of the journey was spent cycling into a headwind plus a few downpours.
The day was saved by a 6km 6% climb (more so the proceeding downhill)... and i guess the sense of satisfaction of boshing it out. At least it was one day rather than two I guess.
