Day 6

Wearily we dragged our very tired bodies out of bed for a late breakfast (by our standards but early by Spanish standards)at 8.30. We all enjoyed the lie in although the rain was a bit of a depressant.
No matter, at 9.30 we set off for a glorious, fast ride, mainly downhill for 20+ miles into Tremp, where we all met up for a coffee in warm sunshine. Some of us had managed it in under an hour!
Leaving Tremp we headed for what we thought was a small Col of 13km at 4%. Near the base we stopped for a welcome picnic lunch before heading for the climb.

And what a climb it was!! It went on and on, with sections of 9%. It sapped what little energy we had left.

However the descent was a flying pleasure as we made our way to Ponts for another coffee break. As we enjoyed our coffees we could see the storm clouds gathering so we set off for Tora and our penultimate night's rest.

What a gem of a hotel we had booked ourselves into. A superb day of 125km polished off with the really good hotel. What more could we desire?
