Vuelta Travelogue - Anticipation and Trepidation
Rest Day #2 in Almeria, Monday, September 11th
Siesta #2
A relatively long transfer from Almussafes (Castilla la Mancha Region) to Almeria (Andalucia Region) will give the weary peloton a much needed rest day. Massages, a training ride and plenty of sleep will be the order of the day.
