\"Ryanair<\/a>

The more observant of you may wonder what happened to Day23, the answer is not much! I basically I flew back out to Zaragoza on Ryanair for considerably less than the flight the other way! Just as well I called in at\u00a0home as the central heating had deflated so when Nest told it to wake up nothing would have happened \ud83d\ude41 \u00a0The flight back was uneventful except for getting some great aerial pics \ud83d\ude42 The taxis refused to take me to the hotel (to close I suspect) so told me to to get on the bus instead, The Hotel Diagonal Plaza is OK except for lack of staircases and a shower like in a second rate British B&B \ud83d\ude41 Their dinner was nothing to write home about either.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Imperial Canal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So today it was Geoff meeting the Sistema Ib\u00e9rico mountain range with it’s over 3000 feet passes \ud83d\ude41 \u00a0I left Zaragoza on a very stony path alongside The\u00a0Canal Imperial de Arag\u00f3n before hitting the really quiet N-330 road, lots of road bikers around all of them happily waving to me. Compare and contrast to Germany \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I noticed that the front light was looking rather limp, poor things bracket had suffered metal fatigue and sheared in two \ud83d\ude41 I started searching the industrial estates for the likes of McKays but to no avail. Eventually at a garage I worked out a scheme using ty-raps to hold it in place until the next bumpy track.<\/p>\n

Then it was the major climbs, really interesting to see how the road has grown over the years, as I crawled up, from a twisty track to the highway I was on to the motorway zooming over my head<\/p>\n

\"1-2016-10-07-15-11-19\"<\/a>The town of Daroca is quite stunning with its castle and medieval centre, should have stopped there but I had booked the Albergue in the next village at Baguena.<\/p>\n

A great days biking in excellent weather. Strava says I did 67.9 miles<\/a> and 3,285 feet of climbing and I’m well pleased with the 11mph too, given the stony track & cruising around industrial estates \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Todays pics should be here<\/a><\/p>\n

and the heart data is here:<\/p>\n
