Yesterday, I cycled up to the Puerto de la Carrasqueta mountain pass. I live at
sea level and the pass is at 1020 metres, so it is decent climb. Basically, to
get there I cycle on more or less flat terrain for the first 7-8 km and then
more or less constantly uphill for the next 30 km. The reward is the subsequent
descent but also the sight I see every time I go up there.
Yesterday, during the initial stages of the ride, I came across this herder and
his dog guiding the flock to pasture:

Then, at the Puerto, I met many other cyclists, both road types (of which I am
one) and mountain bikers. The area is great for both kinds of cycling:

And then I rolled home, letting gravity do its thing :-)
