Day 27 - Colmenar to Antequerra

A challenging day today with a few big climbs including one to the top of a mountain from 350m to 1250m. In places it was so steep that we had to get off and walk the bikes. The descents can often be more challenging, reaching over 70kph, blind corners, stones across the road, some sections with a 10% gradient (which is a lot steeper than it sounds, try impossible to ride up, difficult for cars and steep enough for walking to be very difficult). Again, the views were amazing, especially from El Torqo, the mountain we climbed.
