Day 18: Benissa (Cycle)

A view showing a section of the climb to the port/puerto de La Vall de D'Ebo from the direction of Pego: A climb that is a favourite of mine in the Costa Blanca area.

Soon after the climb's start ...

... it was clear that the climb was going to busy with fellow cyclists resulting in many overtakings. None of which were by me!

Obviously, there is always tomorrow!

I did make it to the summit:

I set of from a cloudy Benissa with the temperature hovering about 9°C, and returned with the sun's rays just about breaking through the clouds and a temperature of about 13.5°C. It was a little sunnier out and around the Vall de D'Ebo and not very windy.

Not a very long ride, but a very enjoyable one.
