It’s about 4pm. We have a little rest and eat a couple of energy bars, even if we didn’t believe in them so much. In front of us there is a rather steep stretch of unpaved (argh…) road till the pass at 4300m. We start biking that we are very concentrated. Not too fast (4-5km/h) but continuous with no breaks. The uphill is tough. Just after the first turn, we both got blood from our noses. Probably because of the altitude and sun. At the base we promised to reach the top even we have to spit our blood, so we continue, always very concentrated on the road.
