Day 5: Headwinds
We all agreed this was one of the hardest days ever. A cold front blew off the Atlantic so we had occasional showers and only 13 degrees. But worst of all were the 80 kph winds all day. Energy sapping! Quite a struggle, but we completed 65 miles, climbed 4600 feet over 7:15 hours of peddling. Passed through the small but beautiful city of El Burgo (coffee break) and plenty of tumbleweed strewn virtually abandoned villages. We have reached Condemios de Ariba now, only 50 miles from Madrid, so progressing!
