STAGE 2<br />
110,3km, + 1278m<br />
Vallfogona - La Seu<br />
The second day we woke up in bad<br />
weather conditions, so we decided to<br />
modify our original route in order to<br />
avoid the rain. We didn’t leave the<br />
N-260 road, and we continued cycling<br />
until the mythical “La Collada de Toses”<br />
hill, which is a very popular route for<br />
cyclists. I wouldn’t consider this climb<br />
really tough. The average gradient is<br />
quite comfortable (3.6%), but the<br />
difficulty would be in its len-gth (24km).<br />
Fortunately, there is fabulous scenery<br />
accompanying you throughout your<br />
ascent.<br />
After the long descent, we kept going on<br />
the N-260 throughout the valley, but we<br />
couldn’t escape the rain at all, and had to<br />
stop just 20km before our destination.<br />
We waited a while until the weather got<br />
better, and in the meantime, we decided<br />
to have lunch. After that, we continued<br />
without complications. We have always<br />
tried to avoid getting wet, to try and<br />
keep our changes of clothing dry, and we<br />
were so lucky with this, because that<br />
was the only day that heavy rain was<br />
expected.
