I went cycling this morning as I always do on weekends, but I got out too late,
around 9:45, so by the time I reached Jijona, about 24 km from home and at 450
m altitude, it was already 38C, and the prospect of climbing another 600 m to
the Carrasqueta pass in this heat and with hardly any shade along the way was
not attractive. So I took a short break in the centre of Jijona, and cycled
home via Busot, a detour which added some good km and reasonable climbing to
the ride, for a total of 58 km and 700 m of climbing. Not as much as I would
have liked, but when you start getting a headache from the heat, it is time to
listen to your body. Anyway, I stopped to take this 9-image panorama with the
little Ricoh—not perfect exposure-wise due to the differences in the sky, but I
find it pleasing nonetheless:
