Congratulations Nathan, great effort.  The Guinness is well deserved.

Just thinking - those concrete blocks at the side of the road look pretty 
dangerous, especially for a cyclist or motorcyclist.

 Puerto  means  mountain pass  in Spanish, and this morning I set out on my 
bicycle for Puerto de Tudons, a well-known pass around here which often 
features in the Vuelta a Espa a bicycle race. I live at sea level, so to get to 
1024 meters means serious climbing. This is the first time I have attempted 
this pass. I left at 9 a.m. to avoid the afternoon heat while climbing the 
temperature did his 36C during the ride, but that was on the downhill portion, 
so OK. It ended up as a 105 km ride with 1650 meters of climbing, but I feel 
very good about the Guinness I am enjoying right now. And I have some pictures 
:-)

This is about 30 km into the ride the mountains in the distance is where I am 
going:

And the world is at my feet, seemingly and I have a 30 km descent to look 
forward to:

Not bad for a 54-year old MAMIL.

Cheers,
Nathan
