Rented bike, in PdI, couldn't find the address, so left late. Saddle sagged during ride, borrowed an Allen in Aldea. With already a nice coat off, started this work. Very tough. Took a breather at the dam. Cycled on to Artenara, Ayacata, Cruz Grande, San Bartolomé and Fataga. Also had 3 more climbs in this descent. Back at the flat at 10pm. Was really done for a few days.... read more

Fiets gehuurd, in PdI, kon het adres niet vinden, dus laat vertrokken.
Zadel zakte tijdens rit, in Aldea een Inbus geleend. Met al een aardige jas uitgedaan, begonnen aan dit werk. Heel zwaar. Bij de stuwdam even een adempauze genomen. Doorgereden naar Artenara, Ayacata, Cruz Grande, San Bartolomé en Fataga. Ook in deze afdaling nog 3 klimmetjes gehad. Om 22 uur terug in het appartement. Was echt wel klaar voor een paar dagen.

A nice one, but you need/should be prepared. It's a long and hard climb in a remote area, so it will be a full day on the bike.
