Pisuerga advantage that goes through Valladolid, and we spent the Friday night and all day Saturday in Girona, would use for a trip to Skinny, and pick up the pace a bit.
At 8:00 am we woke up with a delicious 2 of temperature, but in a short time they were going up the grades, thanks to the sun.
breakfast juice, milk, toast and a muffin. I have no hurry to leave, so I take it in stride. So quiet that I inadvertently gave me a 11:30. I donned the clothing (leggings, short shorts, thermal vest, jersey short sleeves, windbreaker jacket, helmet soto, buff and gloves). Full isotonic drink container with HECENDADO, and a bar of the same brand for the road.
11:47 and 11 degrees temperature, I get going on the C-66 towards Banyoles, with the good intention of reach the lake, skirting and return to Girona, + -30 kms. Easy run to remove the "Monilla" of the bike.
In the first few miles, I take refuge behind the buff, trying to expose as little as possible on my face. The cold air is not to my liking, but once the first Repechón, the body goes into heat, and leave bare the nose and mouth.
As I approach Banyoles, I heated the "nose" (mouth), and I think I could stretch a little more travel, think big, to go to Olot, but for a notice stating "Olot 32Kms "I removed the idea of \u200b\u200bthe head, which was not only going, but again, all in less than 2 hours. Besalú if that is within range, is 11 kms from Banyoles. And after much thought (5 minutes, as all thoughts of men) decide to go Besalú. 12:40
Besalú reached where I get some pictures of testimony, and without further delay, I return to the road to Banyoles, by
the same C-66.
Among other thoughts, I remember Jose Antonio, that I have not been accompanied by something hich have the knee due to glitches post operation. I also remember Edu, and I think I could have called, but a visit to Girona was lightning.
Once
fact 6km from the perimeter of the lake, I head into town, and from there to the C-66, past commissioner of the Catalan police, from where he begins a considerable ramp up reach the C-66. 14:00
get to Girona very hungry, the bar has not been sufficient. No time for stretching, I shower and eat, the family expects. Pork tenderloin appeases my hunger and recharge your batteries and then go to Decathlon, and buy more food for later departures, confirmed HECENDADO mark is not optimal for a "Tutes bike."
Greetings,
58 kms and 320 meters of altitude
