Largely here to read, not tweet. Occasional ultra-endurance cyling event reports and associated moaning.

Finished. Bivyed up by the Sant Grau church and rolled in in the morning to receive a lovely welcome and 2 breakfasts.

Now to go find a good bivy spot. My phone is refusing to charge, so that might be a problem!

There is very poor live music in the town square. Exactly the vibe to keep me awake!

The bit after was described as (summarising) no harder than anything before. Which has been true so far, but there is still 5000 m of climbing in 135 km.

But it did end. I bent and broke quite a bit of stuff during this section, but fortunately not me or anything critical for forward motion.

Parts of it were try not to drop your bike off a cliff.

The Alta Garroxta Push was hell. Good views which I soon stopped caring about.

Today would have been a very nice hike. Shame I brought my bike with me.

Tomorrow needs to go very well for me to make the finishers party (or the end of it!). My derailleur started playing up again, so that is foreboding!

Clouds started coming in this afternoon. Fortunately I managed to get over the last peak before the rain started. The views were spectacular…

Was hoping Vallter 2000 might provide a hot lunch but it’s been taken over!

The High Pyrenees section is very hard. I can live with difficult up hill but difficult walking descents really sap the motivation.
