The first time this trip. There were slightly more altimeters as the route was mostly inland, but compared to 'medium' routes in France and Spain, this was a joke. I suspect the heaviness was due to the heavier surface. More than half of it was on forest paths, rough gravel or bad concrete tracks.<\/div><div dir=\"auto\">These slow routes reduced my average speed to barely 13km\/h.
