Day 2 starts with a gentle 5km climb as we head north towards the Judgement Mountains. The rest of the mornings ride is undualating as pass through olive groves and farms, but with the silhouette of the Pyrenees on the horizon to remind us of the work to come. After lunch we have the obstacles of the Coll de Canes (1120m) and Coll de Sentigosa (1064m) to overcome before descending into Sant Joan de Abadesses. We're not quite home and dry yet as the 11km climb to the 12th century Romanesque church at Sant Marti Surroca still lies in front of us.
