Girona to Biarritz Bike Adventure Stage 2

Thanks to our client Tristan Cardew for the video & comment...
"After a decent feed, a decent sleep and a decent look at the profile the night before, we rolled out super keen for some uphill cycling action on day 2. We were in the Pyrenees after all. Conditions were perfect; no wind, smooth roads and 40k's of climbing from the front door meant the morale was high and the watts even higher (possibly a little too high..). Once we summited Collada de Toses (1790m) and chased each other down the other side, we realised the temperature was hovering around the mid-30's and even though we'd thoroughly inspected the days agenda no one was really prepared for the climb ahead..an 18 kilometer monster that had plenty of 10+% pinches and was unrelenting in the heat. Luckily our accommodation for the evening lay 20 kilometres downhill from the top and was positioned right next to a river which was promptly sat in by just about everyone. Dinner that night courtesy of Louise Laker, coupled with a visit from the campsite's friendly cats (probably feral but cute enough anyway) meant we went to sleep feeling great."
