This one was too steep for my combination of fitness and equipment. Had just cycled into the clouds and just before Los Cabanes it became too much. Remains on the bucket list. Nicely quiet with nice road surface.... read more

This one was too steep for my combination of fitness and equipment. Had just cycled into the clouds and just before Los Cabanes it became too much. Remains on the bucket list. Nicely quiet with nice road surface.

Deze was voor mijn combinatie van conditie en materiaal te steil. Was net de wolken ingefietst en net voor Los Cabanes werd het teveel. Blijft op de bucketlist. Mooi rustig met aardig wegdek.
