Training camp day 2

After the initial reccy of day one and the steady process of getting
used to the heat day 2 was a longer more sustained ride.
The coast road warm up took us up to the foot of the 8 km climb to
Embalse de Artedara on which we knocked out some solid threshold work,
and after a short sharp road decent we pushed again up some technical
climbs. The decents are dusty and littered with sharp rocks and riders
changing puncture. I learned my lesson on day 1 and upped the tyre
pressure significantly for today which worked well.
Great day today over 5 hours in the saddle, long steady ride on the
cards for tomorrow... They won't be getting a cafe stop though its
still training.
