On the road today...

The Brecon Beacons really are cool, Carpetfibre.
I was lucky enough to race the Junior tour of Wales there last year.
Some pictures of last week on Tenerife:
(near Masca in the North-west - with bike.)
(near Masca in the North-west - without bike..)
(El Teide through the clouds. 23 Degrees celsius at sea level, 5 at 1600 meter and 26 at 2400 meter.)
(Overlooking the clouds on El Teide. The top of La Gomera can be spotted in the distance.)

Is that lava on the sides of the road in the last picture?
yep. And it felt like I was riding parix-roubaix as the road conditions were terrible.

What? You're kidding, right?
That road looks smooth compared to some of the roads we have to deal with out here.

Well.. as long as you avoided the potholes, which were everywhere, it was smooth.
But keep in mind that there was a fierce headwind and that it seemed like to road was flat, although it was going up 5-7%.
(Oh, Why on earth am I complaining about all this..? It was a wonderful experience. )
