Still nurning
Coffee before the next hill!
First nut bar! Half way up today's hill!
13%...beat the bike...had to push! That
That was steep
...had to push on 13%. Not so good!
Camping Portuondo Mundaka
Exhausted! 49 km and a couple of 300/400 mt hills........just think your at the top as it dips...then up again. 13% defeated me, had to walk - more of a push - rest - push. Coming down touched 17%, thankfully a different route out tomorrow, but more 13 %.........by the 'big one' next week i might be up to it or it'll be a very long walk!
But, for now, showered, clothes 'washed', and a coffee!
Very wet.... time for a coffee and great
Hills about to start! Well..... that's relative.... it's all hilly, just the degree changes! 🥵
Change of route!
Chatting to a local. Told him my next 30 km.....he looked bemused! I didn't know the language but had a "why?!!!" look! He suggested turn left, head to coast. Very helpful guy..,...sounded genuine...🤔😂
I don't have enough data to reprogramme my bike gps so a few paper notes......what could go wrong!

First komoot leg finished!
Second leg.....but I won't reach the top
On present form the pass will be too steep/sustained (me unfit/too heavy, plus crank bearing playing up), so i think I'll need to retrace my route back down.
