Slow start
Slower climb. 5km of shite straight up. Why is this road even here.
Mellows out onto nice road, closed to traffic. Pleasant.
Briefly consider an offroad foray
Continue onto get chips at the barrier
Pass the barrier, snow.
More snow
Too much snow?
Dodge skiers
Turn back
Descend
Beers & BBQ
Next day bus back to Malaga - dont pay for €12 bike bag, €1 roll of cling film is fine.
Malaga is jumping, saturday, football on, some religious holiday, flypast from the Spanish red arrows
Pack back at Eat Sleep Cycle
Many many beers
Jesus restaurant?
No sleep
Carry box
Fly
Home
Nice trip, would go again.
Bit disappointing to not get to top of Veleta but still longest climb I've ever done.
Arkose did well, I poorly fitted the rear derailleur and only got the bike mechanic I brought along with me to look at it on the last day..
Full frame bag is the tits
Jack Rack was solid
Managed to snap the alpkit stabilisation rail annoyingly
1 set of pads on the hope's replaced
cargo net around the seat pack is amazing, so useful.
That was the other thing I was thinking about doing these sorts of races at night, you miss out on so many amazing views. I guess you just accept that and your not there for a nice time when racing?
Amusing strava stats.
Tour vs so far this year elevation - 14909 / 19730
Day 7.
