Wednesday, 27th of January
- I spent most of the day being towed by two very strong Sky riders. Juan Antonio Flecha and Michael Barry starting up the Mare de Deu del Mont, a very nice 11km climb.
- Flecha and Barry reaching the top with the snow covered Pyrenees in the background.
- Michael Barry bundling back up for the long and cold descent ahead.
- Coming off of the Mare de Deu del Mont climb, Michael had some bad luck. Not one, but two flats!
- Micahel’s second flat tire.
- Our bakery stop at the Forn de Pa in Esponella. A very friendly family supplied us with a few coffees and pastries.
- They even let us have a look into their huge oven, very cool to see!
- Back in Girona and looking from where we came, the highest point to the right of the Pyrenees.
