Went to bed at 1am. Great. Up at 4am and picked up at 4:15am by Mick to head to Gatwick. Slept on the plane 2 hours and landed in Almeria mid day. Gary from Vamos picked us all up in the glorious sunshine. Once we'd arrived in Cadiar we were all raring to get out into the hills.

02:00pm Training Ride - 50Km - 1000m Ascent

Cadiar > Torvizcon > Cadiar

Amazing first day ride to Torvizcon beginning with a 6 mile climb from Cadiar followed by a fast road along a knifes edge ridge line before dropping through twisting hairpins into Torvizcon. Blossom from the trees blowing through the wind was spell binding on the descent. Followed the river valley back up to Cadiar. Legs felt great. Really motored on the descent into Torvizcon.
