Angliru Looms

I’ve just watched the Pamplona bull run live. I suddenly feel less stupid for slowly cycling up a mountain.

The plan today is to have gentle downhill ride for 25k then drop off the bags and rack then head up the Alto de l’Angliru. The Angliru is the reason I’m in this part of Spain. Ever since I saw this photo by Simon Gill I’ve wanted to come here. Once I’ve been up I intend to buy and frame this photo and put it in my office.

Then back to the hotel. Hopefully it’s a relatively short day. I’m OK physically, obviously a bit tired and I’ve got a cough that I’m putting down to an allergic reaction to the hotel {my eyes were steaming last night). Onwards.
