A morning ride
Back in 2010 we were riding in Göttingen. There is a decent hill just next to the city. We did not ride up the hill, because we were tired. But I got an idea, a dream: would it not be nice to have a 400 meters high hill on the way to the office. And on the way back. Since that, I have been dreaming about such a hill.
Now here is Girona I have such a hill. Not that I need to ride it just to get the office, but since the hill is there, I might as well ride it.
It is the Els Angels climb. It is not hard, it is not overly long. It is about 11km long and 480 meters climbing. From the other side, from Madremanya, it is a bit steeper, 5 km and 320 meters. And since it is part of the Girona Gran Fondo, it is good to practice for the 2017 Hill Climb. Here is a video of the climb.
So, because the hill is there and I am kind of fit and it is not raining, I might as well go and ride it up. Maybe both sides.
The route.
