San Jose to Venecia

Riding today from San Jose to Venecia. An early start with breakfast at 6am and off riding about 7:30 after the group photo. Mostly good road surfaces and one big climb that took us over 2000m altitude. A good start to the trip and the first of 32 stages. Weather was good too with mostly good temps only getting hot as we descended towards Venecia.

Catharine’s adendum. I found it very hot most of the day! Got to the hotel before the heavens opened with biblical rain ! Food has been very good - particularly given lunch is just roadside prepared by the TDA team (that’s the company we are travelling with)Read more
