Looks great, who was it with?

Looks fantastic. I'm away out with Switchbacks next week and can't wait 😀

did you make the switchback in the 1st picture?

Love the first picture 'the unridable switchback' although its a bit washed out compared to the last few years, I love the riding around Bubion/capelieria as its got some of the best rocky single track ever.

Looking forward to going back in Easter.
"how do they do it for the money"

Marvellous pics.

Is it Bubion area then?

What's the mix of uplift/slogging up endless fireroads like with them?

Known locally as Nemisis bends, not that bad really, we all made it. Ciclo Montana – highly recommended and great value including a pool!

There is quite alot of climbing, and not always ideal after a 4 course spanish lunch! but fine if you just spin up looking at the views and getting a tan. we saw quite alot of wildlife, like eagles, ibex snakes etc.
their uplift day is brilliant though

Just had lunch with a friend who was also there with those guys over the weekend – were you with Stephan and Manu? Sounds like an awesome trip – thoughts of going in spring are turning in my head…

Not at all jealous……

Sam, we were the week before.

Your second pic down in the above selection is where we spent a while doing some repeated runs along there to get some piccies in May. That's a great section & a nice ride back to the apartment.

Nemesis bend was a lot more eroded this year than when I went last yr. I didn't manage it either time though.

You've got a nice selection of pics there – might try more of the 'looking down' type ones next time we go.

That first switchback used to be a lot harder. I remember talking it up to some friends and then finding it was washed out and pretty easy now. Great riding there, this is the first year in the last 5 I've not been, I think.

Awesome pics – I must go back again!

Looks ace.
I'm going again on Saturday.hurrah.

We went with Freeride Spain in September and it was fantastic. It's amazing how much greener it's got in the last month.

great stuff, especially been viewed with a cup of tea in hand, before getting some work done!
