Day 02 - Atienza to Agreda


Up and off early today to try and avoid the heat as it was a clear blue sky when we woke up. Very quickly after setting off, the clouds came in and the temperature dropped to a very cool 14 - gillet and arm warmers on. The road was smooth and fast rolling. The only thing hindering quick progress was the constant need for the loo ( I have to keep my fluid intake high!)

In 40 miles on a Sunday morning, I was passed by only 4 cars and 2 of these were whilst I was stopped!! And that was it for the cycling - just churning out the kilometres, including the last descent (12 km).

We then set off to the campsite for some R&R (it was only 2:30), to find that despite the website saying it was open and displaying the 2009 prices outside the office, the site was CLOSED - Arrrrrgh. Not again. So it was back to Agreda to find a suitable lay-by and send some e-mails to the next few campsites to make sure they are open.

Last song on IPOD today : Frankie goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes
