STAGE 3<br />
120km, + 2600m<br />
La Seu - Pont de Suert<br />
This was a long journey, the day<br />
started with a tough climb “Port del<br />
Cantó” which has 26km of ascent and<br />
an average gradient of 4%, but the first<br />
part of the climb has gradients of 10 -<br />
12%, which makes it very tough indeed!<br />
These are the moments when you<br />
realize there’s a lot of extra weight on<br />
your bike and your legs start hurting<br />
more than usual. The views during the<br />
ascent and at the top are worthwhile<br />
though, for all the suffering.<br />
After the long descent of the hill, the<br />
main road connects to another climb<br />
that leads you to the natural lake of<br />
“Montcortés”, a perfect place if you<br />
want to refresh. Before facing the last<br />
ascent of the day “coll de Perves”, we<br />
stopped at a nice hotel in Senteradas<br />
village for a quick bite to eat, then<br />
continued under a defiant sun.
