Monday May 16th: Day 2 now done and dusted. And a bit different to day 1. A tougher 170 kms today including two climbs. Some stats for the boys - 170 kms, 27.9 kmph, burned off 2716 calories. Just over 6 hours in the saddle and a fine and quite warm weather day for most of the ride where we climbed in total today - some 2550 metres. My climbing legs were OK thankfully and sunblock helped me get through - and also 5 bottles of water/powerade etc. Staying tonight here in Teruel in a Paradore Hotel. Looks like an old castle that has been done up into quite a nice hotel. So far- good hotels, good food and good organisation. Great roads to ride on also. Very smooth well sealed. Our group guide, John Dean is doing a magnificent job - whilst riding with all the way as well. Gotta fly now- battery on the laptop about to run out too.
