102km (1,686m vertical)
Another crisp fall ride. More fabulous mountain scenery, with terraces, canyons and lots of colorful foliage.
At one point, two donkeys almost ran me off the road. They were being chased by a guy on a scooter, and I was trapped between them. I managed to avoid contact, but the unsuspecting old lady further up the hill got body-checked into the ditch.
There was a 1km tunnel at the end of the day where the tour van rode behind us to illuminate the road. More tunnels in the days ahead.
Great hotel tonight but, again, the hot water didn't come on until 7pm. Spent an hour in the internet cafe across the road, reading through a condo lease.
My saddle had a thin layer of ice on it this morning:
Impressive hillside terraces were everywhere:
