Today was my fourth ride in Spain. Early morning to be in a cool 23 C (at 7 am) and a short one, just 2 hours at mid intercity. Total distance was 51 kms which Im OK with taking in consideration the consistent 3 to 4 % gradient. The legs felt empty and heavy but average speed was not bad with 500+ vertical meters for the effort I was putting in. Not bad but didn’t feel good either.
I also wanted to try a different route, that will bring me to Jijona and back. I will do part of this route tomorrow bit longer and try to get to La Torres de les Maçanes, one of the highest points around. This road is a constant uphill and a good training ground. Until Jijona it isn’t beautiful and more of an industrial type of roads. But between Jijona and Busot it is a very nice rolling hills with olive trees camps on both sides. Very nice. Tomorrow I will see the rest.
