100km ride in Valencia to the summit of El Garbi

It was a great ride. The positive was that I was able to stay with the local cycling club all the way up, but the negative was that my descending skills suck. I still find it difficult to descent above 50km/h, which is not surprising given that it has been a while since the last time I did El Garbi.
The climb has 5km of pure ascent at a gradient of 14%, but getting there is tough and I can say that I spent at least 1hr climbing non stop.
