Yesterday was a game of two halves…
The mornings cycling was as good as you can get. Quiet roads through some stunning scenery. El Chorro is beautiful.

We had breakfast at Ardales and considered our route – the roads I’d chosen were a little busy. The compromise was a little longer but used some tracks, minor roads and about 19 miles on the main road.
Now the last section on main road was reasonably quiet but all up hill.

So it was a fuck off big hill in the sun – I got heat stroke. Definitly ruined the evening !
Anyway our £40 AirB&B was a lovely house in the old town.

I told you to pack a hat!!! But how do you get sunstroke with a helmet on anyway?!?
