\"Muddy<\/a>
Muddy track<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today started with no real breakfast as all, as the Auberge was only\u00a0offering a coffee and a cellophane wrapped bun \ud83d\ude41 \u00a0But I guess for \u20ac25 a night it’s all to be expected.<\/p>\n

At 8.15 outside it was a cold morning, only 7 degrees which in shorts & tee shirt is cold! I had to put my rain jacket on. In fact I didn’t get warm till 11.30 with the sun out full blast. Adding to the cold was the fact I couldn’t find a bread shop \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

For some reason at Luco de Jiloca\u00a0the route left the N-234 and took me down some of the worst stony lanes yet! At one point it was pedal height in water \ud83d\ude41 I at to persevere for over two miles before I could hit the tarmac again \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until after 22 miles I found a bread shop and cafe open in Monreal del Campo quite a thriving community compared to the very poor villages like Baguena. All stoked up even with a banana and an apple I set of warmed up at last.<\/p>\n

\"Want<\/a>
Want a new plane?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The route was then a totally deserted road to Villafranca and its rather empty bread shop & rather sad bar, Later I found myself on yet another old rail track going around \u00a0the huge chipboard factory and then going past the\u00a0Caude-Teruel Airport apparently it’s used for storing upto 225 aeroplanes \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Finally it was a 500 foot\u00a0drop down from 3,300feet to Teruel plus a pedal up through the town to the Hostel Aragon, a great find right in the centre and very adequate accommodation, The town itself has\u00a0quite stunning architecture and feels very prosperous,<\/p>\n

The 61 mile ride and nearly 1000 feet of ascent is on Strava<\/a><\/p>\n

I tried uploading pictures to my SmugMug account here, but alas it has gotten itself all screwed up \ud83d\ude41 \u00a0So it’s back to Dropbox here,<\/a> but I’m still seeking some software that will display the location of the images on a map like Picasa used to do \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The heart rate is here:<\/p>\n
